First Grade Math Facts -
Today the students will be coming home with math facts to practice at home.
Each Thursday we will have a little quiz on the facts they are practicing at home. The students will have three minutes to complete their facts. If they score 80% or higher, they'll move on to the next set of facts.

***PBIS***
PBIS - We call it Positive Behavior In School. :)
At Res when the students get caught doing something good they can earn a Faith Shield. We have two types of rewards that the students may earn with their Faith Shields. The students may put them in the whole school bucket or the class bucket.
If they put them in the whole school bucket, they are brought up at Mass on Thursday. On Monday all of the school's Faith Shields go into one bucket. Then the students have a chance to win something if their name is picked. They can win things like sitting in the principal's chair for the day, extra recess time, a pizza party for you and a friend, an ice cream party for you and a friend, etc.
If they put them in the class bucket, they go towards a reward that the class has agreed on. The reward our class wanted (and Mrs. Franz approved) was a movie and pajama day. To earn our class reward, the students need to collect 400 Faith Shields. Well, last week we had a PBIS assembly. Each of the students earned 16 Faith Shields. Most of them went into our class bucket. We have already reached the 400 mark! So...
The students will have a pajama day this week Wednesday. They may wear their pajamas to school. They asked if they could also bring a stuffed animal if they wanted to and I told them they could. We just finished reading the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today so that is the movie that we will watch on Wednesday.

A few updates -
Reading - Daily 5 is going great! The students are building their stamina! Almost everyone has done running records - we are just about ready to start groups. We will most likely start with groups next week mid-week.
First grade math - We have been learning different strategies for adding. Today we started subtraction. We are learning how to make circle drawings to figure out subtraction stories.
First grade phonics - We are learning about digraphs. The digraphs we use are sh, ch, wh, th, and ck. Today we also played a word family game similar to Uno. They had a blast!
Spelling - Tomorrow we have our first test!
Science - We are working on our weather Einstein kit. This week we spent a lot of time working with thermometers. Since September ended we also made a graph of the cloud cover, precipitation, and wind that we had recorded for the month. I heard back from Mr. Steve Beylon from channel 2. He will be visiting with our classroom on Monday, November 9th.
Religion - This week we learned about different items, places, etc. that are in our church. We then spent two Religion periods in our church going on a tour.

ART
This week we discussed a painting by Carmen Garza called Birthday BBQ. She is a Mexican American artist that loves to depict scenes of family life and family celebrations. This painting has lots of detail telling the story of an extended family enjoying a backyard BBQ birthday party. Some characters are grilling, swinging at the pinata, caring for children, serving food, visiting with relatives, and sitting by the bonfire. We focused our discussion on how art can tell a story. After the discussion, students illustrated their own story of something fun they did as a family this past summer.
