Hello Room 8 families,

Today Mrs. Melindy introduced list writing to the Grade 1 students. We talked about all the kinds of lists people can make: shopping lists, toy wish lists, to do lists, who you are inviting to your birthday list, and so on. We have been really brave spellers and wrote down a list of "Things for my costume." Ask your child what they wrote about!

In math we practiced subitizing! Do you know what that is? Well...subitizing is when you look at a number of objects and automatically know how many are there without counting. We practiced our subtilizing using dice today. 

For Daily Language Arts today we discussed the letter Rr and all of the things that start with R or have the letter R in them. 

During our fun walking field trip on Friday we collected many leaves in the park and today we sketched them! We used the sketching techniques we learned at the beginning of the year to add lots of detail and make our leaves look realistic! Check out some below.
