Weekend News!
October 09, 2016
Happy Sunday!
Is it just me or do these weekends FLY by??
Every Monday my First Graders always come in with so much that they want to tell me about theiir weekend! Between students wanting to share and parents telling me things about heweek, I often found Monday mornings a bit overwhelming.
I wanted to be sure to have a chance to listen to what my first graders had to tell me in a way where there wasn't a line first thing Monday morning...
This is my FAVORITE way to kick off the week with my group of Firsties...
I just love this time when my students practice writing about what they did over the weekend and my first graders love being able to share after writing what it is that they did.
Here is how it works: when the students come in on Monday morning, they spend the first 15-20 minutes (with morning announcements at some point during that time) writing in their "Weekend News Journal" all about their weekend! Then, all of the students come to the carpet and we take turns sharing what they each did during the weekend.
Tip: I have the students write the date at the top of the paper to help with organization.
Here's to a great week!
