Friday skills and centers from Michelle

This week the first graders have been having a pausing point in skills. This means they have finally finished the first book Snap Shots! Their fluency with reading is really starting to develop! We have been reviewing all of the concepts we have learned so far. We will continue with this part of next week as well. Please keep studying tricky words at home!!

In centers for our calming strategy today we discussed humor. We talked about how humor can help if your stressed, angry, sad or if your engine is low. We also discussed how if your engine is high humor may make you too silly. We took a poll of how everyone was feeling, watched a funny movie clip, then took another poll and compared. We talked about things that make us laugh and told a few jokes. We will add a joke book to our calming basket.

Hope everyone is recovering from the storm and Halloween.
