This week has flown by. It also took 23 days.. but the first grade germs have attacked me! Yuck! I have been fighting a cold since Wednesday. And, I am ready to feel better. Being sick definitely makes you appreciate the days you feel good.

My first graders are amazing! Seriously, every day I wonder when something is going to go bad. They are a smart, smart group.

Here are just a few things we have done this week.

 

Counting by 5’s:

And, when counting to 100 is so easy.. why not count to 300! No problem.. they got it!

Months of the Year/Days of the Week:

We have been sorting, reading and ordering the days and months of the year all week. These apple cards are part of my Fall Pocket Chart Unit

---

We made these Pete the Cats. This project has been sitting on my desk since the second week of school {we are on week 5} and we finally had a few extra minutes to squeeze it in. We worked on them for several days. These patterns came from Deanna Jump but I don’t think she still has them available. {The people in Pete’s world made us pull all Pete items off TpT.}

Patterns:

We worked on some easy patterns using unifix cubes this week as an early finisher activity.

---

Unscramble sentences:

We have been unscrambling sentences in small groups or with a partner using cards for the last two weeks.. but this was the first time they had to do it by themselves on paper. They did great! These sentences are part of my Short A Practice Unit.
