Vacation!

Yippeeeee! It's vacation. I hope everyone is enjoying their time off. Are you reading? I hope so. I have been working on our Mother's Day project and designing our class tee-shirt. I also counted all of the beads and sprayed them all so that they will be shiny. Are you ready to put the kits together? Don't forget to sleep in a little after all you are on vacation. I miss you all. See you in a week.

Thursday end of our week

Wow, What a week! We have been busy from start to finish. We have been working on projects for our Mother's Day Tea. It's all a bit hush hush. We want our moms to be surprised. We had our last farming lesson with Mrs. Holiman. We taste tested fruits today. Yummy Yummy!
We finished our reading challenge by reading over 200 books this month. I spray the whole class with silly string in front of the whole school. It was fun to watch the prizes from other classes happen, pie in the face, hair coloring, and cold water poured on a teacher. Let's keep reading.
Have a great vacation everyone. Please leave a comment for our class. We love hearing from everyone.

Monday Monday

Well it's a short week and we have lots to do. It was thrilling to see Natalie Kinsey Wornock this morning. She show us pictures of all the animals she has and has seen on her property in Vermont. She loves her grandmother who made 250 quilts. Natalie showed us 6 different quilts that her grandmother made by hand. She could make a quilt in a week. Wow! Natalie told us to ask our family members if they had stories of when they were growing up so that we could write them down. It was an exciting visit.
What did you learn about during Natalie Kinsey Wornock's visit?

Busy Friday

Wow what a busy day we had in first grade today. We worked in the computer lab blogging and creating a special project. Everyone learned some new skills and worked very hard to complete all tasks. Our current book total for the Wacky Challenge is: 150 books! Wahoo.... we met our goal of reading 100 books and now are working on our second 100. We take pictures of us reading every day. Today we read 2 by 2. We love read.
This afternoon we worked on some challenging math problems. Everyone did a marvelous job at counting by 3s all the way to 72! We also whipped up a bunch more beads for our African Animal Bead Project. We are getting to be experts at making beads. It really helps with our fine motor.
I hope everyone has a great afternoon. Don't forget to bring in a new white tee-shirt.

Friday

What did you learn yesterday with Mrs. Holiman?

Fire Drill Thursday

We had 2 fire drills this morning. One was planned and one was unplanned. The unplanned one came when they were resetting the building. But we went right out of the building both times. It was great practice and a beautiful morning.
Mrs. Holiman came in this morning and we talked all about our visit to the farm on Tuesday. We also learned about the different types of grains. We took turns crushing some grain with a stone on a stump. Then we tried our hand at grinding some corn in an old meat grinder. Mrs. Holiman had some whole grain bread for us to try. Most kids said that it was yummy.
Today we talked about things that come in 2's and then we moved on to things that come in 4's during math time. Most of us can count by 4's to 32! Wahooooo....very smart kids!
We are headed to the computer lab in the morning to blog and work on a project.

Parent Conferences

It was great to see everyone's mom and dad at Parent Conferences. We have a very smart class. Remember to send in a new white tee-shirt. Don't forget to read every day. And Be Good!
Sincerely, Mrs. Dietsche

A morning at the Noel Farm

Wow! What a great morning at the farm. Hannah was there to meet our bus as we arrived! We learned lots of things about how they run their organic farm. They raise Galaway Cows and chickens. It was fun taking a tour and hearing all about their farm. What did you learn today at the farm?
Mrs. Dietsche

Quiet Sunday

I hope all of my smart students are practicing their reading at home. I got a new computer yesterday so I am a happy little camper. See you all tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Dietsche
