I love to read week!

This week is I LOVE TO READ WEEK! We kicked it off today by running our school's community meeting! Students did a great job leading and a special shout out to Clair and Cooper for reading We are in a Book by Mo Willems to the whole school-way to go! At the end of the day we buddy read with second grade:

Here is the schedule for the rest of the week:

Tuesday: Drop everything and read!

Wednesday: Dress up like your favorite character & Green eggs and ham lunch (students who sign up for hot lunch will get scrambled eggs, ham, and fruit)

Thursday: Teacher swap read aloud!

Friday: Pick out a free book to keep!

Puzzle Time!

Thanks Cooper for sharing your AWESOME Stave puzzle with us! It was a choice time hit!

Happy 100th Day of School!!

We had a fun day celebrating the 100th day of school today! We had a special community meeting with 100 movements/exercises, a cookie at snack because Ms.Viola made 100 cookies (one for everyone!), a Hershey kiss scavenger hunt, and ten frame fruit loop necklaces!

Matching our Hershey kisses on the hundred chart

Where are they...?

I think we found some!

Fruit Loop Necklaces!

"Can we please eat them now, Miss Lloyd?!"

Happy 100th day of first grade!!

Happy Groundhog Day!

We celebrated Groundhog Day on Friday with a craft and some writing about what we we hoped would happen today! Punxsutawney Phil claims spring will come early this year. We’ll see what happens! 

Kindness is Cool!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to Westshire last night and saw our Kindess project. The students worked incredibly hard to prepare. We are so pleased that we were able to share our work with all of you! Here is our kindness video. Stay tuned for a video of us reading our kindness book!

COME JOIN US!

Tomorrow night, Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 6 pm will be our book celebration! Come see our very own Piggy and Elephant book about kindness, watch our video where each of us speaks about kindness and ask questions about how we created this project! We can't wait to share our work with you!

Snowy Science!

Why is snow white? If water is clear and snow is just frozen water, why does it look white? We explored this question today and made our own snowflakes with wax paper. Ask your first grader if they remember why snow is white!

Students did a great job working together and being kind friends! We will get to see our snowflakes tomorrow after they dry!

Merry Christmas!

Our post is a little late but we had to share that before vacation we had a surprise Christmas party with second grade! We watched a Christmas movie, decorated cookies and made a tree craft! It was so much fun!

First graders also made a bunch of tree crafts! We did doubles and word families!

Our doubles trees

Our word family trees!
