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. 

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
