The first graders have been working very hard on their letter writing skills! We have practiced writing thank you notes and friendly letters, and this week the students wrote letters to their pen pals! My roommate is a first grade teacher at Bridger School and they are also working on the letter writing unit. We thought this would be a great opportunity to have our students practice their letter writing while also getting to know other first graders at a different school! The first graders in Room 112 wrote their letters and we are eagerly waiting for the replies :)
We added the first President of the United States, George Washington, to our biography journals. During national dental health month the students were shocked to hear about his poor dental health and his set of "teeth." :)
Thank you so much to the parents that came to help out with Art Literacy! It is such an amazing program and I really appreciate the volunteers that help to make it successful. The kiddos got to create fiber art that will soon be part of an art instillation aka "yarn bomb" that will beautify our outside fence!
