Sarah continues to do well in 1st grade. In September she studied all about apples in science.
She worked on vowel and consonant skills, and learned to put words into ABC order.
Her class talked about the past events of September 11th, 2001. She brought home this worksheet to be completed with a parent. She and I worked on it together. It was supposed to illustrate where Eric and I were on that day twelve years ago. (Sarah told me her teacher told the class that she was in the 8th grade when this tragedy happened here in America.)
Ending and beginning sound sort...
Sarah has Reading and Math homework every week. She brings home a Reading contract and a packet of Math worksheets to be completed and returned on the last weekday each week.
Me: How have you been doing in Reading? What do you like the most about Reading? What do you like the least?
Sarah: "Well, when I don't know how to do things it's bad. So, bad. But, I raise my hand and ask for help. We read stories in there and we have stations. Mrs. Hilyard is funny. She calls Savannah, Savannah banana and Hannah, Hannah banana."
Sarah: "Winter because you get to build snowmans and throw snowballs and Spring because babies hatch and in the Spring the weather feels good."
Sarah: "Penny games, time, adding and subtracting."
Me: Tell me about your sticker chart. How do you earn stickers? What happens when it is filled up with stickers?
Sarah: "You get stickers for being good. And, if someone is being loud and you show them the quiet signal you get a sticker. You have to fill it up and you get little coupons that you can pick for a prize. And, I picked a coupon that said Wear No Shoes All Day In The Classroom."
