Welcome to Herring's Highlights! This is the first time I have ever wrote a blog so I may need your patience!!!! I'm excited to be able to communicate with parents about everything that is going on in first grade. I think it's really important that parents know what their children are doing all day at school. I also think that if I can provide you with information about what we are doing in the classroom, it can be a place to start a conversation with your child. I know as a parent myself, when you ask "what did you do at school today?" The usual response is "nothing" or... "We had recess" and that is extremely frustrating:)
My plan is to update my blog weekly. Once I get in the groove of writing this blog, I hope to add photos (cross your fingers that I can figure that out!)
Here are some things you can ask your first grader about this week:
* the sound of short a and i
* tell me about a book you read in reading group
* what was a center you had today
* what are you writing about in writers workshop
* how long have you built up your stamina in independent reading
* how many ways can you show the number 9
* tell me about bus evacuation
Reminders...
No school Friday 10/10 and Monday 10/13
