Thank you VIP's!

Thank you to all our VIP's for coming to visit our classroom! We are so thankful you were able to make it! (Please forgive me if I missed you! It was very busy in our room!)

Writer's Spotlight on...Claire!

Claire is a wonderful writer! 

We went to the song festival. We are listening to songs and jams. My and Lydia, mom, dad and friends. Seth, Ryan and grandma and grandpa.   

We are in the parking lot and we are walking out of the parking lot. 

We are walking on the sidewalk to the song festival. 

We are having fun and we have glow sticks and we get a picture taken. 

Writer's Spotlight on....Lexi!

This is Lexi! She has done a fabulous job of using spaces and stretching out her words this week! She has included a feeling on several pages. Way to go Lexi!

I caught a fish. My Grandma didn't. I was happy. Grandpa was sad.

I caught another one but my grandpa did not. I felt happy again. My grandpa was not happy. I helped my grandpa. 

I helped my grandpa feel better. I gave him a hug and helped him try to catch a fish. But we didn't. He said tomorrow. 

Now we feel better. We ate lunch on the boat. We got to shower. I showed up with the bucket.

What a GREAT first week!

Welcome Back! 

We have had a great first week in first grade! 

In first grade, we encourage all students to be the best they can be! We discussed the fact that we are all different and are good at different things! In first grade, we celebrate that we are all different and unique!

Here is our class promise that we made on Thursday! We came up with many ways we want to be treated by each other. We all put our signature on the promise, which means we will try our best to follow these traits every day!

We also made a guessing book this week to try and help us learn each other's names! There were a few clues to give us a hint at who this person could be.

We read the book, One by, Katherine Otoshe. This book has a great lesson and one to buy for your home library! We learned a great message from this author about standing up for yourself and for others when someone isn't being nice. We made bookmarks of the number 1 to remind us to stand up to bullies.

Also, we read a brand new book that Mrs. Anderson just bought! This book is about a girl and her dog. They try their best to make the most magnificent thing, but they just can't get it right! A great story about perseverance and what to do when you get frustrated or want to quit!

That's it for now! I would love to post some pictures of our class, but I am waiting on a few blog release forms. Hopefully they will be in soon!
