Silly Mr. Munsch

Today we read more silly Mr. Munsch! Our word of the day today was "their". It was a homonyn with the "there" we learned last week. It was a rule breaker with a twist. We were a little confused by the "ei" in the middle, because he said the "long a" sound. We noticed that the same letters say the long a sound in the word "eight", so it must be almost a rule! Today's "their" is a pronoun meaning two or more people. After morning meeting, we read the story, Kiss Me, I'm Perfect. It was so silly. Before we heard the story, Mrs. Myers showed us a list of words that we would hear in the story. We noticed that were verbs with the -ed ending. After the story, Mrs. Myers helped us read the words again from the chart. We listened with a partner to see if the -ed ending sounded like a "d" or a "t". This is important, because we need to know how to spell words that end in -ed and read the words, too. After lunch and recess, we had a math lesson with Mrs. Lauber's class. We collected data about our favorite Robert Munsch book. We had to tally each person's favorite book. Then, we looked at the data to see which book was the winner. Boo was the most popular Robert Munsch book. The reason why we collected our data together, was to get a bigger sample size. Our data was more accurate. After math, it was centertime. Today we went to our fourth center. We continued to paint our favorite Robert Munsch book in the art center. At writing workshop time, we read the book, Mmmm Cookies. We looked for the Robert Munsch style. We wrote in our journals using Robert Munsch style, too. After writing time, all of the first graders went to Mr. Seibel for a lesson on responsibility. The first grade teachers had a meeting together. Finally it was movie time. We watched the movie, A Paperbag Princess by Robert Munsch. We loved this story when we heard it earlier in the week. It was great! Just a reminder... tomorrow is an early dismissal day at 12:30PM.
