Today we read and analyzed That Big Cat. This story is a realistic fiction piece written in the 1st person like the Junie B. Jones series. So, it is a very good example of a personal narrative in the voice of a young child. We learned that when the reader is aware of the main character problem (conflict) then we have reached the middle of the story. When the conflict is resolved, we know we are at the end.
In Health we learned the importance of and ways to stay clean and fit.
For Discussion: What did Allie like to do? (beginning: she used her imagination to play, she also picked out her own clothes, she pretended to be a super hero) What was Allie's problem? (middle: she was afraid to go near/pet that big cat). How was her problem resolved? (end: she learned the cat was friendly, she overcame her fear). How can you stay clean and fit?
All students returning Friday's homework today completed correctly were awarded bonus points for their table.
Reminder: First graders should go to bed at 8:00. If they wake up at 7:00 this gives them the recommended 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep necessary for proper growth. An 8:00 bedtime is also appropriate for 2nd and 3rd graders.
