Retelling in Mrs. Hartshorne's Class
One of our key skills in first grade is to be able to retell stories to a partner or a group. We read the book, This is Not My Hat, and then put the story events in order. The students then retold the story, using their sequence cards as a guide, to a partner. Next they will write an ending to the story, telling what they think happened to the little fish who stole the hat!
Math & Literacy in Mrs. Donovan's Room
First graders are having fun with Math! We're using cubes, counters, our new Cuisenaire rods, and the Bears in Caves game to practice different ways to show parts of numbers less than ten. We're using wipe-off mats to write the parts and whole numbers in a number bond. We're also practicing with the idea of "1 more than" a number using rods, cubes, and card games.
We like playing games with our words in Letterland! We're learning lots of different ways to practice reading and using the words, so we can teach them to people at home. We also love to read our own special books. Danny the dog is our favorite.

Drum Roll Please.... a BIG THANK YOU
Linda and Ken Bundy generously donated their time and the cost to fix this djembe drum belonging to our AES school community! We have a few more that have cracked from use over time. They have secured some donations that will cover the cost to replace the drum heads and they will be fixing those as well. We are so grateful! Our students love to drum and it has been a long tradition at AES for many years! Many thanks to Linda and Ken all of those involved in making this happen for our students and school community!

A Note from Mr. Benham
Hello Antrim Eagles, in Wellness the students are wrapping up fitness testing and starting units on fall sports. We are going outside as much as possible. The ground can be quite wet in the mornings. Please send your student with an extra pair of sneakers so that they can wear dry shoes after Wellness. Go Eagles!!!
