Play it, Say it! Ss had fun playing while learning 2D shapes. Teacher gave attributes of shapes, the partner had to chose the shape, slap it down and justify their response. #CVrelentless @Crestview2
"Fan and Pick" Ss were given several words to pick from as their partners fanned them out. They then had to then take those two words, cut them apart, and make them into the correct contraction. Contraction Surgery Fun #CVrelentless#Crestview2
"Rally Coach" Ss partner up, working on contractions together. Passing the paper back and forth, figuring out what two words make the correct contraction as the "coach" helps partner as needed. #CVrelentless#Crestview2
Taught my class a new call back! I say "Scooby-Dooby Doo" and they call back "Where Are You?" Then they stop what they are doing and listen for instructions. #cvrelentless#crestview2
"Make the Case" Ss made their case by reading questions about the moon and its phases, discussing the answers with their groups and debating the correct answer with the class. #cvrelentless#crestview2
"Jot Thought" Ss jotted down all the Vce words they could think of in 60 seconds. Then they read the words they wrote out loud for quick check. #CVrelentless#Crestview2
Round Robin! Students were numbered 1-6 and had to read from their Reading Response Journal (Somebody,Wants,Buts,So,Then, Finally) according to the story we read. #CVrelentless#crestview2
Ball Toss (using a stuffed animal instead of a ball) Students tossed a monkey around the circle calling out a compound word when they caught the monkey. #CVrelentless@CV1stGrade @Crestview2
#CISDRocks @Crestview2 Building Relationships with my 1st graders by having optional google meets set up during the week. We have scavenger hunts, jokes, directed drawings, and story times. The kids love seeing their friends too.
#CISDROCKS @Crestview2 Ss got to choose from the writing board this week. Two of my students wrote "how-to" papers on making chocolate milk. I love that they remembered to use transition words, capitals at the beginning of their sentences, and punctuation at the end.
#CISDRocks @Crestview2 This week students were encouraged to write a poem at home incorporating poetic elements such as rhythm and rhyme using this SeeSaw activity below.
#CISDRocks @Crestview2 Students enjoying different ways to read at home. In a fort, on the computer through Seesaw, or in a chair with a pet. Reading is FUN anywhere!
#CISDRocks @Crestview2 Mini lesson today in our google meet with 1st graders on How-To papers. Today we wrote about "How to eat an Oreo cookie". We used transition words first, next, then, and finally. I had a real Oreo cookie and a glass of milk for the presentation. So fun!
#CISDRocks @Crestview2 Beginning, Middle, End of a story of one of my favorite books "The Crayon Box That Talked". I love seeing their spelling in 1st grade. This also shows me that the parents are allowing them to sound out their words and do things on their own!! LOVE THIS!!
#CISDRocks @Crestview2 Its always a fun time with 1st graders on a google meet. Today we had a friendly competition of "who can find the item I say the quickest". This is a picture of my two groups wearing the sunglasses they went and found. They LOVED this fun activity.
