Kindness Commercial
The first grade was in charge of the Kindness Assembly on Friday and this is one of the things I created for the presentation. What do you think?

Delightful December!
Let the shopping begin. Okay so most people started weeks ago but I love to shop so get out there and help our economy. What a busy week we had. Reading Reading and more Reading, Wow! We have also been getting ready for our Kindness Assembly. Our first graders have been working on showing kindness for the last month and on Friday we presented to the whole school.
With kids stationed at all of the doors, they passed out little notes of kindness to everyone that came to our assembly. Ms. Hemingway reminded us about what it means to be kind. She helped the audience to remember to bring in canned goods all next week for the county's Operation Happiness. She told the kids that we each have an imaginary bucket inside each of us and that it is our job to fill other's bucket with kindness.
Next we sang our kindness song (Ms. Hemingway created). We decided to have some fun and sang some Christmas songs as well. I think everyone had a great time. The last part of our program was our Kindness Commercial. It's only about 2 1/2 minutes but it gets the message across. We had fun watching ourselves.
Check it out!

Happy October!
Dear Parents,
It has been great to see all of you this past week. We have had a busy week so far. We are up to 15 minutes of reading during our read to self reading block. I am impressed with everyone's reading skills. Everyone seems to be making progress. We have started a new unit in math. Ms. Sylvis came in to show us new ways to think about 10 using a 10's frame. That was fun.
Our monarch butterflies are hanging up on the wall out side our classroom. They look beautiful. Our raffle is hugely popular. Keep selling those tickets. Next Tuesday is the big drawing at noon. Thank you for all of your help.
Remember next week will have fire safety activities and our evacuation practice to the arena. We will have 3 days off. Our pumpkin party is on Thursday at 12:45 pm. More info will come home next week.
Have a great week.

A New Month
Hello Everyone,
Wow it's been a long time since I updated what's going on in our classroom. Well we have been very busy getting smarter. All of our caterpillars transformed into butterflies and have started their journey to Mexico. We had our Open House. It was terrific to meet so many parents. I hope you got a good look at where your child spends most of his/her day. Our hallway display is loaded with products from our classroom. I hope you got to see all the pictures on the bulletin board.
We have been very busy reading, reading, reading. Everyday we are engaged with books during our Daily 5. During math time we are working on our number sense. We play games, count, fill-in pattern block shapes, then count some more. We have also been to the computer lab a couple of times and are enjoying some drawing projects in Paint and have learned how to login to Study Island. We also watched a great video of a caterpillar changing into a chryalis and a butterfly emerging from a chryalis. Truely an amazing sight. Time really flies in our first grade classroom.
I just changed over all of our classroom books. There's a pumpkin theme happening. I'm sure that there will be some great reading going on this week. Thanks for stopping by for a peek into our classroom. Leave us a comment.
