Buddy Reading

Paired (Buddy) reading is a research-based fluency strategy used with readers to improve fluency. In this strategy, students read aloud to each other. When using partners, more fluent readers can be paired with less fluent readers, or children who read at the same level can be paired to reread a story they have already read. Paired reading can be used with any book, taking turns reading by sentence, paragraph, page or chapter.

Nature Lady - Frogs & Toads

This week the Nature Lady visited our classroom and shared some interesting information relating to both frogs and toads!  She shared awesome photos and cool displays.  We also got to touch a frog skeleton!!  This was a perfect connection for our classroom, since we are the First Grade Frogs.  Check out our awesome frog hats!  A special Thank You to Emme for the fun hats!!

 

Nutcrackers

Shapes

3-D means the shape has 3 dimensions; length, width, depth.  All 3-D shapes are solids.

2-D shapes have area, but no depth (they are flat).
