Famous Americans

Wow, the students did such a great job on their famous Americans reports on Friday. I was so impressed by the confidence and enthusiasm they showed during their speeches. We certainly do not have a shy bunch this year! Thank you to everyone who attended and for those of you who couldn't take a look at some of the celebrities that joined our class on Friday.

What a fantastic day!!!


Note to parents: If you do not see your student's picture up and would like a copy please e-mail me. I have photos of each student to give to you. :)

Weekly Reminders



Here we are waiting in line to vote for President!


Presidential Vote- We have been learning about how we vote for President in our class. We have read Duck for President, Grace for President and My Teacher for President. Everyone got to cast a ballot and vote for who they think would be the best President. The students voted between Duck, Grace and Mrs. Murphy and it was a tie between Duck and Mrs. Murphy for President!



Connor is casting his ballot for President.



Once Upon a Lily Pad- Our first grade play is coming along nicely. The students have been practicing their songs and it is sounding great! We are starting practice today in our animal groups where they will learn a dance to their song. We will soon be getting together with all the first graders to practice the whole play. The date for our play is March 29th at 9:00 am and 6:30 pm.   

Measurement Unit- We have recently started a measurement unit and the students have loved measuring things in our classroom! We have been comparing objects to each other and estimating how tall or long an object is.  Please remember to keep practicing and reviewing their addition and subtraction facts at home.

Famous Americans- We are presenting our famous Americans on this Thursday, March 15th at 8:00 am. Just a reminder that all students need some type of  costume and if you cannot find a costume, please let us know and we can try to find one for them. We want everyone to be dressed up like their person on this Thursday.
