Yesterday, I had my little firsts write about their favorite Christmas presents for 2 reasons...
1: to work in a little descriptive writing.
2: it really cut down on the "GUESS WHAT I GOT" comments.
Let me defend myself. I DO care what they got for Christmas. Really, I do. I'm
*Side note* My kids got Furbies. Furbies are back?! They scare me.
Today we wrote about our New Year's Resolutions... I've got a fun little craftivity for them tomorrow to spruce up their writing. If it turns out super awesome, I'll share it! If it stinks, I'll share it!
FUN GRAMMAR STORY OF THE DAY:
I'm constantly helping my firsts to be as polite as can be, and to speak like proper little citizens. Most of the time, I LOVE their little quirks, but there's one that has alllllllllways bugged me. Aposta. You know you've heard it. "What are we aposta do now?" or "Where are we aposta put our folders?" My response is usually "A posta hangs on the wall. Try again." This always gets a laugh and I love it. Today one of my kiddos asked his neighbor what they were aposta do on their morning work. His neighbor, one of my lower readers, which made it even more priceless, replied with "it's SUPPOSED to... a posta hangs on the wall."
Made my day. Happy 2013!
