Digraphs and Picture Graphs

Over the past several days, the girls were introduced the digraphs, "sh, th, ch". Today we brainstormed some th and ch words as a class, then the girls went back to their seats to write several words on their own.  The girls partnered up and completed a digraph worksheet together.  We will continue to focus on all the digraphs we have learned (th, sh, ch) in our word study period.
We continued with our graphing unit in math today by teaching the girls how to analyze a picture graph.  For the past few days, the girls have been reading and working with simple bar graphs.  Today, however, the girls learned a different way to gather information--by using a picture graph.  Many thanks to all parents who sent in pictures of pets (and to those who did not have a chance, do not worry, your daughter sketched her pets).  We used these pictures to create our own class graph titled, "Animals We Own."  Our new graph is hanging in our classroom, so please feel free to come by and check out what pets are famous in Pre-First.


We also had two more hibernation presentations.
