Love quotes from our LOVELY first graders:

(Taken from the 5 senses of love activity)

LOVE "looks" like: my mom, hearts, helping others like helping my brother feed his fish.

LOVE "smells" like: a rose, soap, and perfume.

LOVE "tastes" like: chocolate, sugar, conversation hearts, cake, blackberries and chocolate chip cookies.

LOVE "sounds" like: Will you marry me?, music, laughing, symphonies, "Yes, my love", and I love you.

LOVE "feels" like: hugs, snuggling, lips, pillows, and going to school!

SPELLING

Friday a packet was sent home for each child to work on memorization of his/her address and phone number. Please have your child complete the activities inside and return to us by Friday.

In writing this week we worked on creating 5 page books.  We are learning there is a process to writing and in order to start a story the writer must first organize his/her thoughts.  So, we made a web of ideas with the main idea "a happy time".  Once all the important ideas were listed then the story was created.  Next week, we will get the chance to sit in the author's chair and share our wonderful published stories.

Our new interactive board makes math time even more fun when students get to create their own math problems on the board with our special computer pen.  

These kids are time masters:  "Tick tock tick tock, it's 1:45!"

Now that our Hooray for the USA unit has come to a close we will be heading down under for some fun in the outback of Australia!  We are so excited to begin this unit and know the class will love this new journey!
