Role Models at Work
If you thought you had to be an adult sports hero or entertainment idol to be a role model…think again!  Tyler, an exceptional fourth grader at Elm Creek, visited our first grade class this morning to talk about the benefits of being active. And, we were all thinking that we wanted to be just like him when we were in 4th grade!


Tyler did an amazing job explaining to our first graders how they could/should become more physically active and how to record their achievements.  Students will receive a FuelUp Play 60 Calendar that provides a place to record their physical activity. 


                         
          

Look for more details next week! And, join us in our commitment to be physically active and fit! 


As we continue our conversations about Family, Foods, and Traditions, we will move into the Thanksgiving week celebrating those things that families do together and for each other. We will share some Native American stories while exploring the wonder of the First Thanksgiving.  Thank you for the conversations you are having with your “firsties” about traditions and things that are important to you and your family. We will continue to document and record these wonderful experiences through the eyes of first graders during the next few weeks.

Because of the short week, we will not have any Home Learning Experiences. We will continue our work with this week’s Word Work List. And, we will talk, read, and write about what “thankful” means and how to express it to others.


And…we will cook Vegetable Soup together on Tuesday!
