This morning in math we practiced writing telephone numbers (did you immediately recognize this post's title?!?) and discussed numbers that were important to us like, our houses/parents numbers, 911, the school telephone number, and numbers of our family members.  We talked about the different parts of a number (Area Code) Neighborhood- unique number, and students shared their parent's numbers which was interesting because some of them were from area codes far away like California and Florida!

We also talked about how our addresses give the exact location of our houses and why that is important.  We even explored some of our addresses with Google Earth which was very exciting!  The students were able to see from a street view and "walk" around some neighborhoods! 

In S.W.R. we practiced writing sentences and the red word, "my".  My is very tricky because it sounds like it's spelled "mI".  The first graders are still working hard to remember to start every sentence with an uppercase letter and to end every sentence with a period.  I think this will come along the more we write! 

During writing and social studies we wrote about what we like to do with our families and illustrated a picture to go along with it.

Yesterday when I picked the students up from Art, Mrs. Derry our art teacher, said it was one of the *best* classes she had every had!  I was so proud of our class!  They each earned a warm fuzzy for that compliment!  

Ryan F. celebrated his awesome behavior by bringing in a fluffy friend and I learned something new today- your first graders LOVE to do push-ups!  They are so impressive!
