Desk Fairy and VIP's

Last week we had a special visitor in our room, The Desk Fairy!! The Desk Fairy comes and visits students whose desk areas are very neat and clean. We know when she visits because she always leaves her card and a special treat! Check out www.firstgraderatlast.blogspot.com for your own desk fairy certificates!

Now that each student has already been VIP once and filled out their special all about me poster now when your child is VIP they may bring something from home to share with our class. This night be their favorite story/book, a trophy, stuffed animal that is important to them, or even a picture!

Last week Cameron brought an alligator head and did a wonderful job sharing with us and even took students' questions at the end! This week Cori brought the neatest stuffed animal and book for me to read! After reading the last sentence at the end of every page the stuffed animal would say something! The kids and I really loved it!

Thank you all for your cooperation this year! I appreciate you!

3D Shape Extravaganza!

Last Friday we finished up our Math unit on Shapes! We reviewed 2D shapes and learned all about 3D (solid) shapes! We also spent time comparing and sorting the shapes!! We played a memory game with 2D and 3D shape cards, sorted mini shapes, built 3D shapes with Legos, and finally we built 2D shapes with pretzel sticks & 3D shapes with toothpicks and dots candy!

We are now finishing up a week spent on working on fact families and learning about Dr. Seuss!

Reminder!!

Don't forget book orders due tomorrow! We will also take our spelling test tomorrow over words that have the long i sound that is spelled "igh".
