Still Looking for an Alexander Graham Bell, Martin Luther King, Jr., and a Rosa Parks to Visit Our Classrooms!

americas-heroesThis year we will be learning about many of our great American Heroes.  We would like to invite those interested to come dressed as one of the characters and share their story with our students. Presenters will visit each 1st grade class for 7-10 minutes.  

We hope to help our students create a memorable connection to history and understand the impact these instrumental people had upon our country.

Thursday Dec 15th

We have been learning about how different countries and cultures celebrate Christmas. As part of this I have liked to follow up at the end by doing a tradition we do here in the United States of decorating gingerbread houses. 

I have gotten approval for our class to decorate gingerbread houses with frosting and candies on Thursday Dec 15th. This day we will also be watching Polar Express which you have already signed a permission slip for. 

I however forgot to add gingerbread houses to the yearly permission slip. Please sign this permission slip for your child to participate click here.

Please sign up here to help with this activity! screen-shot-2016-12-09-at-3-36-35-pm

ROCKS!

We started talking about rocks today and I asked each student to bring a rock tomorrow that they can carry in one hand. They may bring extras. I told them to make sure it isn’t really tiny because we will be doing something fun with them after we are done using them for science. rock

Winter Party December 16th

I have two opening spots for our Winter Party coming up. It will be on Friday December 16th after lunch from about 11:45am-12:50pm. We usually meet around 10:30am when lunch starts to coordinate and get ready.

We are in charge of coming up with a game. I do not currently have a volunteering willing to be in charge and plan a game and coordinate with other moms. If you are willing to do so please email me. 

We also need two other helpers. If you would like to help please email me. 

Currently I have: fabric-christmas-tree-wall-sticker
