... Just thought I would add on a little to Amy's post from earlier. Today in skills the first graders started their new book "Gran". They were so excited to read something new. Everyone's fluency is really starting to increase and that us exciting to see! We learned our first long vowel sound this week with the spelling of EE as in feet. The pace of new sounds will rapidly start to build from here in in. You will see more practice reading sheets coming home to reinforce skills the kids are learning. Please continue to practice tricky words as well.
In Centers today with all students we talked about using art as a calming strategy. We discussed that when we look at soothing pictures it can take our mind off what is worrying us or stressing us out. We then listened to relaxation music and colored our own calming pictures. The students were so relaxed after this it was wonderful to see!
Have a wonderful long weekend!
