Good Afternoon,
We have had an absolutely fabulous week. Yesterday the students had health class with Mrs. Dillon. They are focusing on food and the nutrients the types of food can provide. In math, the 1st graders have been focusing on "bigger numbers." They have been writing on number strips and have been excited with the idea of working with these numbers. Some even found other uses for their tapes.

Today, we wrote in our Weekly News journals. Today's focus was to use the paragraph structure (that we have been focusing on) to write a paragraph or two for you. The kids did a wonderful job with this. I only edited their paragraph structure. I hope you enjoy the entries.
We also worked on a book about rules. This week, recess has required a few extra reminders about being safe and respectful on the playground. I used the opportunity to read a very short book about rules and then asked the students to help with a recess brainstorm. They then came up with appropriate procedures/rules for the playground equipment. Next Friday, we will finish up our work and turn it into a class book.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Peace,
Tom
