Scholastic News

Every week your child will have the opportunity to read a children's magazine article from Scholastic News.  The articles are appealing to first graders because the subject matter targets topics of interest to young children (pumpkins, spiders) and their teachers (feelings, politeness, school rules).  I can project an interactive version of the article on our Smartboard so that the children can tap and draw to answer questions and play a game.  This week they read an article called "School Feelings."  Afterward I gave them an activity page where students drew a face to match the feeling he or she would have in that scenario.  Here are some fun pics made by some very artistic students!
