Magic e

Greetings, everyone! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and enjoyed the sunshine! 

Today was a big day in first grade. Today we learned how to read long vowel a words. We learned that when there is an e (I call it a magic e) at the end of  word, that e make the vowel say its name. It is taking us sometime to get use to this change but we are excited to learn new words. 

Before learning about long vowels, we reviewed our short vowels by playing build-a-bug. Students selected a word and if read correctly they could color a line on the bug. This was a good review before learning long vowels. 

In Math class today we learned how to count on from a number. Students worked with a partner to roll dice. Then together, they counted to see how much they rolled and filled in a chart. The students loved this activity. 

Remember that tomorrow is a Box Tops Jean Day!!
