Week 34

The first grade farmers have been busy adding to their farms and calculating costs. They are hard at work earning money and calculating costs using multiples of 5's and 10's. 

In reading, our tricky word tool boxes are filling up! We are starting to add tools to our comprehension tool belts. As the first graders start reading more challenging books we want to make sure we can read the words AND understand what we're reading! The tool we focused on this week is rereading. 

This week we had our final Junior Achievement lesson. The first graders have been learning about wants, needs and jobs, and had a chance to culminate their learning by creating their own businesses. It is safe to say that Room 112 is filled with bright and creative entrepreneurs! 

We had our fabulous Artist in Residency, Karie, come on Friday afternoon! Karie will be coming again in 2 weeks (5/26) to finish teaching the first graders about clay art and helping them finish their own clay creations! If you are available to help out from 8:30am - 10:00am please let me know!
