Manic Monday

I have been singing Mantic Monday in my head all day long!!!  It has been full speed all day long!  Wheww…I will sleep good tonight.  Monday’s are filled with weekend stories, new concepts to learn, and of course the Library!!  I am super excited I was able to get a camera from the library so I can start taking pictures again!!! 

In math we spent our time learning about shapes.  We began our study with a poem by Shel Silverstein (my FAVORITE  poet) called Shapes.  We illustrated the poem using shapes.  We then talked about the number of sides and corners each shape had. 

Our Zookeeper of the Week is Makenzie!!!  Makenzie is a very hard worker and a sweetie!  Congrats Makenzie!

Field Trip

A First Grade Fairy Tale……..

Once upon a time there was a first grade class who studied the wonderful world of fairy tales.  They learned about Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and many more!  At the end of their adventure they were invited to meet these wonderful characters along with the Stinky Cheese Man!  What a grand time they will have!

The first grade teachers are excited about the upcoming field trip to see the play The Stinky Cheese Man on October 6th.  This play will be at Letourneau College at the Belcher Center.  The costs for the tickets are $3.  Each student will need to bring the $3 by Monday September 26^th.  We have to send in the money beforehand along with a head count.  Parents are welcome to come, but they must provide their own transportation.  Your tickets are $3 also and we need that money by Monday as well. 

 We are planning to have a picnic lunch afterwards.  The students will need to bring a sack lunch for that day. 

Manic Monday!

Yes, it was a Mantic Monday today!!!  We were busy busy busy!  My camera kicked the bucket, so I am sad I can’t post any pictures of all of our Math and Daily 5 activities today.  We are still graphing and today we graphed our favorite ice cream.  We also had a chance to do our math buckets (centers). 

Today everyone got their new reading group book.  We also got a chance to do 3 Daily 5 rotations!  It was Library day today.  Library day will ALWAYS be Monday, so make sure you send your child’s books back then.

Our Zookeeper of the Week is Pablo!!  Pablo is a hard working student.  He is also a great friend!  Congratulations Pablo!  (And Happy Birthday too!)
