Hello Friends,

Happy Wednesday! I’m really looking forward to our google meets today and tomorrow, I just love seeing all your faces!! Today, you can bring a favorite book to share with your friends and tell us your opinion about it. You might tell what you like about the characters or illustrations or what makes it a great story (does it teach a lesson, was it funny, etc.)! See you all soon J

Hello Friends,

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone has a great start to the week! Have you had a chance to look at the first grade learning calendar for this week yet?! This week you will learn about adding double digit numbers, you will listen to some great books on Bookflix and discuss the characters, and you can do some choice writing from the spring writing journal or the April writing menu. I’d love to see some of your work this week, so don’t forget to send me some picture of work you do!! I wanted to share one of the pieces of writing I did from the April writing menu, you can check it out here!

Hi!! Have you checked out the rainbow rocks hunt at River Road Park? If not, give it a try sometime. People paint rocks and bring them to hide at the park, you then search for them, kind of like an easter egg hunt!! What a neat idea! Here's Chase getting some rocks ready.....
