The scientists in Room 38 conducted an experiment to determine if air could create force. We filled a balloon with air, attached it to a straw on a string, then let the air escape. We had fun seeing how far we could make the balloon travel along the string by increasing the amount of air we blew into it each time. We finally made it go 50 feet! Science is so much fun!
We had a great time rehearsing and performing "Stone Soup" for our families and for the other first grade students at Milford. We received lots of compliments on our play performance. Thank you to all members of our audience who came and enjoyed an afternoon of dramatic theater. Thanks to all the narrators, villagers, and soldiers who practiced so diligently to learn their lines and to use a big acting voice. Soup from a stone---Fancy that!
Miss Lowe has joined us for a few months as she completes her coursework to receive her teaching credential. We think she is already an awesome teacher! We are thrilled to have her as a part of our class and appreciate all her help!!
Today we impressed the 5th graders in Miss Stoker's class by reading really big words. The words had prefixes and suffixes. We learned that prefixes and suffixes change the meanings of the root or base words. It was really fun to see how surprised the 5th grade students were that we could read the words.
We got to read our words to Mrs. Feezor too. She gave us 5 Bobcat Paws for doing such a great job! We were very proud!!
Gilbert's story about his shadow, was chosen out of all the first grade writing pieces at Milford, to be judged at the county level. We are hopeful that his writing will make it to the state Writing Fair! Good Luck Gilbert! We are so proud of you!!!
Dear Families,
We want to thank you again for all your suppport! We appreciate your flexibility with the changes we made recently with our homework procedure. It is going very smoothly! Most of the children are remembering their homework folders each day and their work is being completed. Thanks again!
Ms. Brown and Ms. B
We had a fabulous time at the Center for Puppetry Arts! The show we watched was all about weather. It was fun learning our science standards through a puppet show. We appreciate the center for fully funding the field trip. They even paid for our transportation. Please enjoy the pictures of our fun day!
We appreciate you taking the time to check out our blog. Due to the recent budget cuts, we will no longer be sending home the homework packets that you are used to seeing. In an effort to reduce the amount of copies made, we will be sending home worksheets from the students' phonics and math workbooks on a daily basis. A blank sheet of lined paper will be sent on Mondays to be used for spelling practice. The children should write the new words 5 times each, and write a sentence for each word. We appreciate your continued support!
