Last week was a very busy week for me and I could not find time to blog, was pretty bummed with myself, I was getting so good at blogging a couple of times a week. Last week was filled with meetings and our Fall Festival was on Friday. This week I am promising myself that I will not stay at school, except on Thursday when I have a quick meeting. Thursday is my birthday and I really am not too happy about having our meeting switched til then but as long as it is over with in a half hour, I'll survive.
This week my students are working on the following r blends, gr, tr, and pr. I made a super cute R blends sort that is free in my teacherspayteachers store. I created this center because I want my students to be able to identify the beginning sound (r blend) for each picture instead of matching words to the correct beginning letters. My students started using this center today. I'll have to take pictures this week to show you guys. We are also working on pronouns, bats, forces and motion, and reviewing our math concepts for our 3 day math benchmark next week. Yes, I teach 1st grade and yes my students have to take benchmarks. It may only be 10 questions each day but it will take at least an hour for my students to complete it. Then I get to score their benchmarks and fill in a bubble sheet.
I'm also pleased to announce that my students are finished writing their citizenship reports! They did such a good job on them. Sometime this week, they are going to be able to read their report to a group of second graders.
