NED Assembly
This week we were very fortunate to attend the NED Show! Ned is a cartoon character whose name is an acronym standing for Never give up, Encourage others, Do you best. During the assembly, our host Meghan used yoyo tricks to teach us these important life skills. The assembly was engaging and motivating. Ned Show yoyos will be for sale at Pine Glen until Friday 11/13. If your child is interested in buying one, please send their money to school in their green folder. Money raised from the yoyo sales will go towards helping another school have a Ned Show just like a school had done for us! We learned that his is called “paying it forward.” For more information the NED Show, you may visit here. Thank you to Miss Z for organizing this event for Pine Glen!
Writing
During writing this week we worked on choosing a topic for our narrative stories. We discussed the difference between big moments and small moments. We learned that when we write about small moments we can include more detail and make our readers more interested. Big moments are sometimes too big for a written story!
Once we decided upon our topic, we illustrated our stories using crayons and water colors. We worked really hard to include as much detail in our illustrations as possible. Next up-- we will use our pictures to orally tell our stories to a friend. Then, we will let our pencils do the talking and begin to draft the beginning, middle, and ending of our stories!
Math
In math this week we began Topic 3, Five and Ten Relationships. We will be working with ten frames and learning the different parts of 10. Continue to practice math facts at home with your first grader whenever possible!
