September POP Quizzes :-)

Hello First Grade Team!!! I'm so excited to post all the previous pop quizzes on our classroom blog!

Technology Rocks! Have fun quizzing your child and yourself! Ha! Go First Grade!!

2. What does a sentence always begin with? A Capital Letter :-)

3. What does a sentence always end with? An end mark

4. What are the three types of end marks? A period, a question mark, and an exclamation mark

5. Can you say the following sentence using gestures?     I am in first grade.    Your child  should have made  a capital letter by putting one hand up and one hand down, noted the ending of  the sentence by making a  screeching sound, and made the appropriate end mark (a  period)  by using their pointer finger and saying "boop". (Stay tuned for a video, modeling this:-)  

As always, if you have any questions please let me know!

Have a great Labor Day in the Lord!

I’m working on some videos to model the gestures we use in class.  I would love to use some of my students for this project!  Please send me a quick email with a “yes”, it would be okay for me to record  your child in a video., or a No.  The video will be viewed through YOU-TUBE, but only by the, people who have been granted access.
