We wrapped up our short week with some
Peeps fun! The students were each given two characters (Peeps) to create a story with. It was suggested that their Peeps go on some sort of adventure or journey. These writers had great imaginations. We had Peeps going down rivers, in enchanted forests and even in jail! A second grade teacher stopped by and commented that "this is some of the best 1st grade writing I have ever seen!" All of their hard work during Writer's Workshop is paying off! Our most recent focus has been on Author's Craft, and they are really making their wiring exciting for their readers.
This afternoon we also did "Jelly Bean Mystery Math" which was just my fancy way of making math with jellybeans exciting! The students counted, sorted, graphed and interpreted their data. They then practiced some addition facts with their jellybeans.
We celebrated two birthdays this week in 1st grade too! Happy Birthday David and Nico! We sure enjoyed your treats!
