Terrific Tuesday

Yesterday I was busy filling out our Limeades for Learning project, so I didn’t get a chance to blog.  So, please watch out for emails concerning Limeades for Learning.  This is a really awesome program that gives us the opportunity to get some iPODs for our listening center!  So cool! J

Back to Monday…..

Our “Zookeeper of the Week” is LAYNE!!  Layne did an awesome job last week!   Congrats Layne!!

“Read to Someone” was introduced today.  They did wonderful.  Here are some pics of their partner reading.  My goal is to have all the 5 components of Daily 5 introduced by Friday.  This way we can start Daily 5 and reading groups on Monday. 

When we start reading groups next week is when I will begin to send home reading books for them to read.

Our first spelling pre-test is THURSDAY!  If they make a 100 on Thursday, they don’t have to retake on Friday!  We are shooting for 100%!!!!  If you noticed, I send checked papers home on Friday.  Some papers will have grades and others just a sticker or a smiley.  The ones with grades will go in the gradebook.  The smileys are just practice.  Sometimes it’s just simply if they are following directions.

Well, we are bound to have another great week here in First Grade!   .
