First Grade Puppy Pound
Jan 8, 2016
Staying Warm
In our Scholastic News, we learned how different animals stay warm and survive in the cold. We have to bundle up with hats, scarves, boots, and coats, but many animals have their own protection against the elements. Polar bears have two layers of fur and walruses have blubber to stay warm.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year stars
We spent the first day back to school going over our classroom rules. We made stars and wrote the most important ways for us to be respectful, responsible and safe in the middle of them. They will be a helpful reminder for us!
Second Steps
Mrs. Ross will be coming into all of the first grade classes for a few weeks once a week, to help us build relationships with our classmates, tattling vs telling, and expressing how you feel when someone hurts your feelings. We have discussing what types of feelings we can have. We have lots of feelings!!!
Geometry
We started our unit on geometry by having the students do a shape hunt in the classroom. We had some really sharp eyes looking for hexagons and triangles!

FYI: Baby Alert
Mrs. Schulte had a baby boy over break. His name is Trevor and mom and baby are doing just fine. I have combined both classes for this week's newsletter. It's a good thing we plan together so I know what is going on in the Puppy Pound!
