We are almost there! It is so hard to believe I have only a few weeks left with my sweet kiddos. We have been talking quite frequently about getting ready for first grade and being the best first graders possible. Knowing that, my students have really been working on improving their writing skills and handwriting as well as practicing our reading strategies. I love this time of year because I get to see how proud they are of themselves when they start trying to read EVERYTHING! They all get a little gleam in their eye when they can read a chapter book or write a beautiful letter for their parents. Below you will find a checklist students must use to check their papers before they can turn them in to me.
We have also been looking at our numeracy skills. We have been focused on addition, subtraction, and comparing numbers. We have made the following anchor charts to help us remember our different skills.
Not too many crafty projects but we did do these fun bunnies for Spring. The kids wrote about what they would do if they were a bunny.
They turned out so cute! More fun things to come including our unit on financial literacy. The kids have really enjoyed it and I cannot wait to show you what we have been doing.
