Notes and Updates

Maker Mission Challenge...... Completed!

Maker Mission Headquarters surprised us with a visit and presented us with a certificate for all our incredible hard work. Superintendent Holodick was quite impressed with our creations during our 1st grade walk around.

Spinning

Ms. Jane, a building Substitute gave our class a demonstration with a spinning wheel and drop spindle. the students learned how to make yarn from wool. They even had a chance to try it out.

Popcorn Party

We recently celebrated the learning of our High Frequency Words, "popcorn words" with a popcorn party. Students have been working very hard to acquire new sight words.

Fluency Work

Working with a partner, students have been very focused on reading with fluency. Daily, they read their popcorn words, several phrases, and a poem. Their collaboration is really helping everyone grow as a reader.

Straight From Headquarters

We’ve reached the final stage of our Maker Mission Challenge from Literacy Headquarters. Students have been given a task: to create or invent something that solves a problem in our classroom. We have been busy brainstorming, learning, planning, and create drafts. Here is a sneak peek at our work in progress.
