100th Day of School

2/26/2015

0 Comments

 
We had so much fun on the 100th Day of School.  The boys and girls dressed up as if they were 100 years old, and then participated in a range of academic activities based on the number 100.  We wrote about what we would do if we had $100, made collages of ourselves at 100 years old, built towers with 100 cups, and played math games based on 100!  It was a fantastic day.

Sneaky "E"

This week, the students learned about the sneaky letter "e". We learned a poem to help us remember how the "e" at the end of a word makes the other vowel say it's name. Students practiced sneaking up on short vowel words to change them to long vowel words.

Skype with China

This month, 1R has been communicating with a first grade classroom in Beijing, China. We were curious to find out more about their daily lives and what they were learning in school. The boys and girls prepared questions for a video skype with our friends! We were so excited to hear their answers. The students in Beijing showed us Chinese characters, traditional clothing and performed for us a song. We had a really great time! 
Freddy surprised the students in China during our skype! He had visited their classroom before coming to Boston!
