On Wednesday, January 13 we had First Grade Family Fun Night! We shared some first grade activities with parents based around a Penguin theme. We had the students make (with their parents help) a penguin glyph. It was completed based on how the children answered questions asked of them. We then had students complete a sight word Quiz, Quiz, Trade activity using sight words. Quiz, Quiz, Trade is played with flash cards. Students have a card, get a partner, they show each other their card and answer the question or say the word on the card. They then trade cards and go find a new partner! Next the students showed their parents how they spell words using the Cimo Spelling app on the iPad mini. They were also able to show their parents other apps we use in the classroom on the iPad. Last everyone was treated to yummy cookies and lemonade. It was a fun evening! Thank you to all who were able to make this event!
