THANK YOU
Thanks for being so sweet to me this Teacher Appreciation Week. I really love my job, and a little kindness goes a long way! Thanks, also, to those who donated time or goodies to the PTA to help them spoil us.
There is no place I'd rather be!
WEATHER
We began our weather unit this week and we are loving learning and digging deeper into the natural things that occur in our world!
We also used it to help explore informational and entertaining texts for author's purpose.

Cloudy with...
a chance of candy!
P O E T R Y
Last week kicked off our poetry unit. Much like other areas of learning, we incorporate reading and writing into our unit as well as science, social studies, etc.
I like to have a poetry day at the end of our unit to wrap the event and celebrate. Be on the lookout for more information as that time approaches.

Gardening!
Last week we did some planting in our little corner of the garden. One of the kindergarten teachers shared some strawberries with our first grade classes to put in our raised beds. After exploring the dirt and roots and replanting the shoots, we used our microscope to inspect one of the plants which had broken off. Such fun stuff!
COURAGE
Mrs. Abdelgawad came and read to Amazing Grace to us to continue our Pirate Principle study of courage.
