Nature VS man-made

Students have been learning about goods and services, wants and needs, and man-made verses natural materials. After learning the different between natural and man-made materials, we went on a walk around the school looking for materials. 

Learning about American Indians

The week before thanksgiving, we had a special visitor. Mrs. Webb came to out school and gave us a wonderful presentation about her tribe. She sang songs, played music, and answered questions. It was a great experience and I know the students loved it! Thanks you Mrs. Webb! 

'Stache the cash

The entire month of November male staff members grew their beards out for men's health. The week before Thanksgiving, students were given the opportunity to bring in a dollar and vote for the staff member with the best mustache! Thanks to a generous donation, all students were given a chance to vote and all were given a mustache to wear at school. The money went to support men's health. Students had a blast wearing the mustaches! 

100 Fox Heads

Congratulations to our students for earning 100 fox heads!!! Students were able to have a free drawing time. Students could draw using markers and paint. It was so fun!! 

Literacy Stations

Students have started participating in literacy stations every morning! Each station focuses on a literacy skill the students need to master. Here are a

few pictures of students. Enjoy! 

Crazy Hair Day

Students earned their reward for receiving 100 Fox Heads in September! We were so excited for this fun day. Students were able to come to school with Wacky Hair! We had purple hair, green hair, wigs and crazy hats! It was a very fun day!

Welcome Back!

Hi Families!

If you've made it here you've noticed that I changed our blog address since we have moved on to first grade together.  I am so excited to share another year with you and I hope to continue to share special moments through this blog.

Similar to last year, I will be sending home permission slips regarding your student's involvement with this blog.  If you wish to not participate in the blog (pictures, first name mentions) please do not hesitate to do so.  Additionally, please feel free to leave appropriate comments, questions, or anything you'd like to share on the blog.  Last year I frequently showed the students the blog and they loved hearing back from their families.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Back to School Social (Thursday, August 1 at 6:30).
