Fun Friday

It has truly been a great week. We've spent the week learning about working animals and the forest. Then we were able to have a visit from a seeing eye dog in training named Addison on Friday morning. The students LOVED getting the chance to see what she can do, learn about what she will learn, and have the chance to pet and love on such a sweet dog! Below are some pictures of a great exchange between working dog and some very happy first graders! As if that wasn't fun enough, we had house competitions in the afternoon. I am so proud of how each of our first graders behaved and helped lead their groups through our "challenges". What a fun day!

I hope that you all have a fantastic Labor Day weekend and enjoy your Monday off. When we get back to school on Tuesday we will be working on plural nouns and learning more about animals by studying the food chain. We will also be continuing our number exploration in math. I am so impressed by everyone's hard work on homework, sight words, and math facts. You all have been working hard every night and it shows!

A couple of reminders and updates . . . Magazine and flower orders are due on Wednesday this week. Also, our tree trunk projects are due on Friday. Thanks for helping your students out with these. Let me know if you have any questions. We've had some issues getting AR up and running, but I hope to begin by the end of next week. I think that covers everything! We will see you on Tuesday!
