Welcome back! I hope you all had a nice February vacation!
We have had a great week in room 113. The students have eased back into the routines and expectations after a week off, and my extended leave. It's great to be back and see the children and all their excitement.
We have started a few new things this week. As a class, Room 113 is working on putting Mr. Potato head back together again. We can do this by SOARing and earning compliments from other adults in the building. In the first week we have earned 3 pieces!
We had many visitors in today to read to us for Dr. Seuss' birthday and to celebrate Read Across America.
Thank you to Chief Kent who read to the whole first grade in the library,
Mrs. Clancy, our reading specialist,
and Mr. D!
We enjoyed listening to all of your favorite Dr. Seuss stories!
Mrs. Christiansen came in today also and read us Chrysanthemum. We did an activity that each child had to fold a paper heart when one of the kids says something not so nice to Chrysanthemum. When someone said something kind, students were to unfold their hearts. We talked about how you can still see the folds, even if the heart is back to it's regular shape. We talked about how we should try our hardest to always say nice things to others and that are words can last.
On Thursday Mr. Musselman came in to FW and did a special presentation for us in the auditorium called Star Lab. It is a planetarium and we got to see the night sky and constellations. It was very neat.
