I don't know about you, but this has felt like a long week! We are all excited it's Friday and can't wait for Family Fun Day tomorrow at Armstrong School! As always, we have been very busy in 1A. We started a new author study this week on Tomie dePaola. He is a first grade favorite because he writes about personal stories from his Italian and Irish heritage and retells folktales with amazing characters like Big Anthony, Strega Nona, Jamie O'Rourke, and many more! Here are some things we did this week...
- Weekend News
- The Art Lesson by Tomie dePaola
- Bossy r controlled vowels
- Who do you value more than gold?
- How to catch a leprechaun
- Story Elements with Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato
- Character Traits/Compare Strega Nona and Big Anthony
- Computer Lab-Big Anthony and the Magic Ring (Lesson from story)
- Published Story: Valentine's Day Party
- Song of Strega Nona
