We wrapped up our polar animals theme this week by learning more about penguins! We also estimated with penguin erasers, read books about how snowflakes form, and reviewed the parts of a complete sentence. We compared the work we did at the beginning of first grade with our writing now-what a difference!
Our Mystery Reader last week was Mr. Bowker! He is an IT specialist for a company that helps people get loans for houses, cars, and other large purchases. We had a lot of great questions for him about his job!
In February we'll be learning more about poetry, dental health, and geometry! We'll have a Project Day on February 13, and next week the green Homework folder will have a sheet explaining homework for the month of February, which will be a little different from the usual menu... 😄
Thanks in advance for sending back reading folders, Eagle News, and the green homework folder with the menu/calendar on Monday!
Thank you for returning library books yesterday! Almost everyone brought their books back!
Thanks for having kids finish their home breakfast before coming the classroom. :)
It was a pleasant 60 degrees in New Orleans last weekend! I am ready for some spring temperatures here, too! Darla enjoyed our visit and the Leadership Conference. In two weeks, it will be Kola's turn to join me as I travel to Raleigh, NC for a Leaders for Just Schools conference, also with the NEA. This weekend, I will be in Augusta for a two-day MEA Board of Directors meeting...I'll also sneak in a trip to Barnes and Noble :) . I can't wait to find some new books to share with my young friends! Whatever your plans, stay warm and enjoy some family time!
