Show and Teach
In first grade, I have changed Show and Tell to Show and Teach. This helps us do more than "this is my favorite toy. I like to drive it." or "This is my stuffed animal. I sleep with it. I like to throw it up in the air like this." Since we are having a story on growing, it seems the perfect time to have a Show and Teach session. If you would like, please send a picture of your child when they were a baby or a toddler. It would be wonderful if you would tell them a story they could share with us about when they were young and learning new things. We will share the stories and put the pictures up on the wall for the children to look at and return them to you during the week after the 9th of October. It would help if you could send the picture(s) in an envelope so that they would be protected. Thank you.
Please send in the reading log on Monday. Since you would read Wed. evening and Thursday, I would like those minutes to go with that week. As usual, any minutes you read on Fri/Sat and Sun would go on the next week. We would like to keep that reading habit going, if possible. I am so pleased with much of the growth that I'm seeing already. Please keep it up.
Thanks again, Mrs. Reeder
