Well we are going to have quite the week this week. In reading, we are going to continue to work on using good reading strategies especially using the 3 main questions when trying to read those tricky words "Does it sound right, Does it look right, and Does it make sense". We will also keep building our sight words and learn about the -et word family. In writing we are going to write our third "small moment" about something that happened to use, most of us will probably be writing about our trip to the farm. We are now writing in 3-page booklets like real authors. In Math, we are going to review our last test. Most of us did well on telling time to the hour and counting by 2's and 5's, but those pennies and nickels are still pretty tricky. Wednesday is our "character parade" which just happens to be on Halloween, so kids get to dress up as their favorite "character" and be in a parade around the school. Our class is going to spend the afternoon going to other first grades and singing our pumpkin songs we have been practicing. Mr. Robbins is going to be the "Man in the Yellow Hat". On Friday, Mr. Robbins is going to be at yet another professional development day at Columbia's Teacher's College, but no worries our awesome new sub Ms. Shuford will be there to hold down the fort. First grade is fun. Report Cards are due on Friday. Conferences are in 3 weeks! Just thought you might want to know what is going on in Mr. Robbins class.Don't worry this is not for my school parents, because do you really think that I would want them to read directly below this that I would love to have Demi Morre's legs. Although they might find it interesting, most likely they would rather chase me around the Bronx as I ran screaming like the little girl I often turn into. I have just been planning and thought it might be a fun blog. Hope everyone is grand. Toodles
