This was a great ending to our week!  We had cookies and read a book about life lessons.  We discussed lots of vocabulary words for life such as :  proud, modest, respect, patience, cooperate, trustworthy, unfair, generous and optomistic.  They gave lots of examples of what these words mean!

 

Something fun and funny was the students had to roam the room and find a friend to sign their "catagories sheet".  Categories included, who has a brother, who has a pet, etc.  One category was " Who has traveled to another state".  We talked about the difference in cities and states and showed the U.S. Map.  One child had been to Mexico and I am happy to report that most students in 1st Grade have now reported that they have been to S.C. and Mexico as well!  :)  Funny!!!!

 

Our math graph of "Our Favorite Thing to do on the Playground" showed how to tally and graph from tallies. We went out for extra recess for our great effort in 1st Grade this week!
