Football Game Fun

Loved spending the evening with my first grade friends! I was so impressed by the turnout of kids and parents that attended the football game tonight to support our Cardinals. The kids had an awesome time and were great cheerleaders! 

Grandparent's Day

September 11th

Today we reflected upon the events that took place on this tragic day 14 years ago.  As a class we discussed the importance of September 11th and the sacrifice many first responders made on this particular day.  We honored Troopers of the Missouri State Highway Patrol by making them a book to show our appreciation for what they do. Not only did we have the privilege of giving back to the men and women of this organization, we also were able to have a Trooper in Henry County come speak with us. The kids loved the chance to visit with Trooper Tyler as well as ask questions. We are thankful for all our first responders as well as the men and women who serve our country.

Student of the Month

Congratulations to Chloe for receiving the Student of the Month Award for Respect! 

Whew...what a week

Our theme this week was weather, which went along with our reading story, The Storm. We discussed various types of storms and shared many stories. We also completed a project Thursday, that demonstrated our knowledge about different types of clouds. Looking forward to sending this project home, it is currently being displayed in the hallway:) 

To go along with our weather theme I read to the kids my favorite book, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. The students really enjoyed the illustrations and imagining what it would be like to have food fall from the sky! After I read we brainstormed and wrote about as class why we would like it to rain food.

We finished Chapter 1 in Math this week, and we will start Chapter 2 over Number Bonds on Tuesday. We will also begin doing word work with short o and learning about Sequence of Events as we read our story Curious George. I am looking forward to lots of learning, but I am first ready to enjoy this long weekend:)
