Winter Party Fun!

The students had fun at the Winter Party! A special thanks to all the parent volunteers! 



Flat Stanley Travels

The students enjoyed sharing their Flat Stanley pictures! He sure traveled a lot of great places! 


Dress Like a Book Character!


Buzz Boy and Fly Guy were the most popular characters. Of course, Lilly and Purplicious, Corduroy, and a few other special characters were there too! Everyone looked great!

Winter Poetry

The students wrote several winter poems. Some students worked on acrostic poems on a website called Read, Write, Think.  The students brought home their poems right before winter break to share with their families.

Thinking and Working Like a Scientist!

We've been learning about scientists. We know they ask questions and observe! We've been learning about the tools that they use to measure too. Today, we asked a question and wrote a hypothesis. Then the students actually followed the procedure and tested it and collected the data. They wrote their conclusions and we talked about what they learned!  Ask your child about the scientific method we tried out today.





Welcome, Miss Durham

Miss Kate Durham sent home a letter introducing herself today. She'll be working in our class every morning. She's helping out during reading, writing and word work to help meet the needs of all of my students. She will be working individual students or small groups.  She's great with the students and I'm so glad she's part of our class!
