Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and was able to enjoy the sunshine. We loved seeing the sun shine into our classroom this morning. It was much appreciated and missed. 

First grade is off to a great start this week. In Language Arts class we discovered how to read and spell words with suffixes -ly and -ful. We also talked about cause and effect in a story. 

In Math class we explored the concept of division by learning to share "candies" fairly. The students did a great job at sharing various amounts of "candies" with various numbers of children. 

As an extra to Language Arts class today we read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Afterwards students worked in groups to sequence events from the story. They then wrote about and illustrated what it would rain in the town of Chewandswallow. As you can imagine, the students really used their imaginations.
