Friday, December 19th




     Well, our predictions were correct! It has been a VERY exciting week in our classroom!  Blue, the Elf, kept us on our toes!  And, he provided opportunities for reading (his daily letters and notes) and writing (“firsties” questions for an elf).


We never knew where he would be or what surprises he would leave for us!


 


So, Blue, our elf, got called back to the North Pole to help Santa with his tasks!  We were so happy that he was able to visit us for a while!

This week, we learned about symmetry as we designed Christmas ornaments. Each student designed ½ of a Christmas ornament and a buddy would “match” the other half. And, we decorated a Christmas tree using light color patterns!



On Tuesday (Dec 22nd), first grade students are invited to wear pajamas, robes, slippers, AND to bring a stuffed animal to school! (And, your first grader should bring one or two favorite books from home.) They will be snuggling up with good books and celebrating the holiday season with good friends. 

What an amazing group of first graders!  We have learned so much and had so much fun!
