March Writing and Crafts

After reading The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss, the children wrote about what would happen if 

Thing 1 or Thing 2 visited their house and we made a.....

 

 ...Thing 1 or Thing 2!  Thank you to Mr. Barr for making patterns for us to use! 

We read the story The Luckiest Leprechaun by Justine Korman.   It's a tale of friendship between a leprechaun and a happy dog.  Then we shared when we felt lucky with our partners and classmates.  Students then completed the sentence stem, I feel lucky when.... and made a leprechaun, too. 

I feel lucky when I see Mrs. Dryzal because she is the best and she is nice.  :0)

 

 

I feel lucky when I see Mrs. Dryzal because I like her.

Read Across America

 

During Intervention, we read The Cat in the Hat, then made hats with long o rhymes to connect to the

sound we are practicing during Fast Track Phonics.

 

Our Display

 During the afternoon, the K Kids stopped in to read to the students.

The K Kids did a great job and the First Graders loved listening to our guests.  

 

In ELA, we wrote about what would happen if Thing One and Thing Two came to our houses and made a paper Thing One or Thing Two.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

March in Room 23

 

 

 

As part of our Geometry unit, students worked on composing and decomposing 2-D shapes, using different shapes in Math class.   

 

 

The book we read as a springboard for our fantasy writing project.

 

 

In Language Arts, we were working on writing Fantasy fiction pieces.  We read the book, Square Cat

 by Elizabeth Schoonmaker.  Then we brainstormed about two challenges we would have if we were square, and something good about being square.  We then used our brainstorming paper to compose our fantasy fiction pieces.  Above are our square people.                                                                                                                         

                        

 

The author of Square Cat enjoyed our work with her book, that she sent us a copy of her new book Square Cat ABC.  We cant' wait to read it on Monday!  We are also now members of Eula's Fan Club!  

 

 

On Monday, it was first grade's turn to take part in Mocha Monday.  The students were able to sip cups of Hot Chocolate during our afternoon break.  The smiles on their faces show how much they enjoyed their chocolaty treat! 

 

Thank you for stopping by!
