Nursery Rhyme Friday - Again!

It's nursery rhyme Friday again!  We spent time reading nursery rhymes again this week and we worked hard to make our art project props to go along with one of the rhymes.  Below you will find links for the nursery rhyme presentations we had today.  Enjoy!

Nursery Rhyme Extravaganza!

This week we spent time learning and reviewing some favorite nursery rhymes.  On Friday, the kids each picked a nursery rhyme and created an art project prop.  Using their props, the kids performed their nursery rhyme for the class.  I have included the videos of their performances for you to enjoy!

Jack and Jill

Humpty Dumpty

Itsy Bitsy Spider

I'm a Little Teapot

3-D Shapes!

Welcome back!  The kids have been working this week on identifying and making 3-Dimensional shapes this week.  If you check out the photo tab, you will see pictures of the awesome creations that your children made using toothpicks and marshmallows.  This activity is also a homework activity this week. 

Tip: if you choose to use marshmallows and toothpicks for building 3-D shapes at home, I suggest letting the marshmallows sit out for a while and get a little bit stale.  The softer marshmallows are less stable for building.  Enjoy!

Spring Break is Here!

I hope everyone has a wonderful spring break!  There are no homework assignments and there are no books coming home as homework reading this week.  I did send home an assortment of writing pieces that your child has written since November.  You will find the packet paper clipped together and in your child's Friday folder.  I also cleaned out book boxes this week and your child will be bringing a paper folder full of past reading books home to keep.  It's my hope that your child will spend some time reading over break.  Hopefully this new assortment of books will be helpful!  Enjoy!

Field Trip!

Thank you to all the parents who came on the field trip with us this week.  We had a lot of fun and appreciate your help very much!

Make sure you check out the new pictures from our trip!

Thank you!

Thank you to those of you who came to conferences this week.  It was great to see you and share your child's progress with you!  Report cards will be coming home after spring break with the next update on your child's progress.  Of course, at any time, if you have questions or concerns please let me know.

Remember we have Popcorn for Penguin days on March 14, March 22 and March 28.  If you would like your child to purchase popcorn for snack on those days, please send $0.50 with your child.  The profits from the sales go toward Mrs. Davis's first grade classroom and their quest to help endangered penguins by adopting one!  Very cool cause!

Have a great weekend!  Remember there is no school on Friday, March 15th.

Conference Time

It's conference time!  Please be sure you check your child's Friday folder this week for a conference sign up form.  Return it to school as soon as possible so that I can get everyone scheduled.  I am looking forward to meeting with you to share your child's progress!  Have a great weekend!
