Our End of the Day Activites Include:
Show and Share: We have a classroom Show and Share book bag. Each student will get several turns at taking home the Show and Share bag throughout the school year. The bag is due back the following school day. Each child is allowed to bring one item to share with the class. Please help your first grader prepare to answer the following questions:
- When did you get this object?
- Where did you get it?
- Who was with you?
- What happened first, next, last?
*If you are bringing in a special Show and Share for your child, plan to come at 3:00.
This student is also our Reader for the day. He or she may choose a book from his/her chair pocket to read aloud to the class at the end of our school day.
Book Buddies: Each student will have an opportunity to select a book and a character or two (from that book) to bring home for the evening. Many of these books are A.R. Please read the story with your child and assist them with the journal writing about their evening with their Book Buddy. He or she will share the journal the following school day.
? Estimation Station: Our Reader of the day has an opportunity to guess how much candy is in our jar. We log these numbers using greater than, less than and equal to symbols. When we get it right, we share the goodies.
*Our Estimation Station operates via parent donations. Please support our Estimation Station with wrapped goodies.
