It was another busy and fun week in Room 114! In science we learned about why baby ducks follow their mothers, in math we continued to play domino games to strengthen our number sense and in writing we started to edit and publish one of our Small Moment stories! I can't wait for another wonderful week of fantastic fun in first grade! 😊
🌟Star Student🌟
Congratulations to Riley who was our very first Star Student of the school year! We loved learning more about Riley from her All About Me poster and from the pictures that she brought from home! Keep up the awesome work Riley! You are such an important and valued member of our Room 114 family! ❤
Every child will have the opportunity to be a Star Student in our classroom this year! It is such a wonderful way to celebrate and honor each child! Star Students are selected at random every Thursday afternoon. When it's your child's turn to be a Star Student they will come home on Thursday afternoon with their letter of congratulations and a description of what their reign of Star Student will entail! Keep shining bright Stars of Room 114! ⭐
We did an outstanding job of making Star Student pages for Riley's Star Student book! 📚
Free Choice Friday Fun!
There's nothing better than ending the week with a PJ/Stuffed Animal Day!
Learning is even more fun with a furry friend by your side! 🧸
Wearing PJ's, relaxing on the classroom rug and doing ST Math with friends...what could be better?! 💻
In Writer's Workshop this week each child picked their favorite Small Moment Story and started to edit and publish! This coming week we will share our pieces with our classmates and celebrate all that we have accomplished in this unit! Keep up the amazing effort, writers! Your creativity, focus and hard work continues to blow me away!
On Tuesday we learned all about bus safety! Ask your child what we talked about to see what they learned!
