Ice Cream and Fluency


My upper level first grade readers have been working on this fluency packet during our intervention
time for the last 9 weeks.  Most of my students have improved their fluency by at least 10 wcpm, and even as much a 30 wcpm.  Each passage is paired with comprehension questions and often times a writing project.  If there wasn't one included, I would do writing workshop with the students after we did our daily fluency practice.  This week we've been reading the passage Ice Cream.  The we wrote about a time we ate ice cream.  The students really enjoy the themes.   Here's a link to Courtney Keimer's Unit on TpT.  Below is a photo of our ice cream stories.

Field Trip 2016



 Today the first grade went to see The Angry Birds Movie at The Westwood Plaza Theatre and Cafe.  
The students had a great time, as you can tell by the smiles on their faces. 






When we returned to school, we did a movie graph, then made our own Angry Bird Characters and wrote about our favorite part of the movie and why it was our favorite part.  
I think they did a great job! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Walk-A-Thon 2016


 Today was the first West Side Walk-A-Thon to raise money for our school.


We were thankful for a warm, sunny day! 


The students walked about 2 miles or 10,000 steps!
 

West Side Students raised $4,000 for upcoming events at school.  After the walk, we gathered in the gym for a door prize drawing.  

Thank you for your support!
