Hi families,

Happy Thursday!

Today the kids can work on:

High Frequency word worksheet
Math pages 242-243
Add more details to their writing piece

On Thursdays, we have Library so click here for the latest from Ms. Russell!

Keep on the hunt for all things magnetic!

In today's video, I introduce new read the room words that the kids will need for their high frequency word worksheet.  I walk the kids step by step with the math pages as I feel woefully unprepared with my at home supply of 3D shapes.  I end the video with a silly read aloud  Here is the video!

Keep working hard on EPIC! Reading and ST Math as I am monitoring progress.  Also, for students receiving Title 1 support from Mrs. McCrave, don't forget to log onto Lalilo for 20 minutes a day.  She is keeping track of your progress and loves to see your work!

Any questions, let me know!

Hi families,

Happy Wednesday!

Today the kids can work on:

Cut and sort
Math pages 240-241
Edit their writing piece

On Wednesdays, we have PE and Music so click here for the latest from Mrs. Claflin and Mrs. Duvall!

In today's video, I chat about editing writing.  I quickly discuss this week's cut and sort.  I do my best to model different 3D shapes without having my 3D manipulatives and I walk the kids through their math pages as it is tricky to do without some teacher lead discussion.  Here is the video!

I will host an adult only meeting at 2:30 so feel free to stop in to ask questions, provide input, or vent.  This invite went out with this morning's email to families!

Hi families,

Happy Tuesday!

Today the kids can work on:

Sentence with picture using yesterday's -ed words
Math pages 238-239
Write a narrative story (I don't mind doing this with them when I see them individually)

On Tuesdays, we have PE and if you go here (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1WrsAbPmvnQ7oRjjFthq0YdllmuiC4G1JXkEBIPWpND8/edit#slide=id.g74cb390488_0_0) you can check out some activities that she has in mind using a locomotor movement spinner.

In today's video, I check in about how the magnet search is coming.  I come up with a silly sentence using three -ed words.  We count backwards by ten and multiples of ten in math.  Here is the video!

I will host first graders and staff at 2:30 for a zoom meeting!

Hi families,

Happy Monday!

Today the kids can work on:

-ed handwriting
Math pages 236-237
Plan a new writing piece (I don't mind doing this with them when I see them individually)

In today's video, I introduce a challenge that is designed to get kids outside.  They will need a magnet and a scorecard.  They can then find things around them that are magnetic.  They get one point if the item is inside and two points if the item is outside.  We will share how we do this Friday, May 1st at 9:30AM at the all class zoom meeting.  In case you were wondering, it did seem odd to me that May is almost here! So get outside and find things that are magnetic! Here is today's video!

Hi families,

Today is technically a Spring Break Day, but I am putting things out there for families that want to keep their child busy.  I am someone that prefers to be busy so I appreciate the distraction.  Consider everything for today optional!

Today the kids can work on:

Two half pictures using yesterday's high frequency words
Math pages 234-235
Get your writing piece to a place where you feel good showing Mr. Stevenson!
In today's video, I chat about how counting backwards using subtraction facts that we are comfortable with.  At the end of the video, I talk about an idea that I plan to introduce on Monday to get kids outside.  Here is today's video!

I will host some first graders today at 9:30 if they want to come to this optional hangout!  We will be chatting about Mystery Doug and what he is doing with the things he recycles!

Happy weekend!

Hi families,

Happy Thursday!

Today the kids can work on:

High frequency word worksheet
Math pages 232-233
Add more details to their writing piece

In today's video, I chat about the use of speech bubbles in narrative writing.  I am noticing that a number of kids are using labels and captions from informational writing.  There is also a read aloud from another Cori Doerrfeld that highlight some speech bubble uses.  Here is today's video!

I have an action packed day with lots of meetings so if you have any questions email and I will get to them shortly!  It looks like it will be warmer and sunnier so take advantage!

Hi families,

Today the kids can work on:

ll, ss, ff cut and sort
Math pages 230-231
Edit their writing piece

In today's video, I chat about what pictures can look like in a narrative piece as well as share some ideas of what to be on the lookout for when a first grader edits their writing.  In math, we once again use money to help guide our thinking so you may want to gather some dimes and pennies before you begin.  Here is today's video!

At 2:30 this afternoon, I will host an optional adult only time for families of first graders where you can share ideas, ask questions, or just vent.  You should have received information about this is the email I sent out this morning.
