We had a new book winner.

We are learning craft in writing.

Craft makes our writing interesting.

Craft is ellipses and dashis and onomatopoeias and aliteration and much more.

In reading we are learning how questions help readers.

In math we are learning place value and ten more and less with high numbers.

And today we have the sing along and a party.

We are learning how to make our writing interesting. Thank you for sending in your mystery book if you haven't send it Monday. By Blaine and Justin

We are beginning to talk about games, foods, TV shows, clothing and sports that were popular when you (and maybe your parents) were kids! The kids love looking back at pictures from the past and comparing "then and now."  We invite you to sit down with your first grader and visit the VoiceThread below.  Talk about your memories before you were a parent or grandparent.  We love learning from you and invite you to share family photos, letters, artifacts and books to help us learn more. You can add photos to the VT below and comment to tell us more. If your comfortable, you could even send your artifacts to school to share with us!
