1st Grade Practice and Week of May 14-18

I have 52 minutes to upload photos 
and complete this blog before my laptop goes OUT again!
It won't charge in a timely fashion...so...here I GO.....

This nice young man from IRELAND
visited with us on Tuesday!
We counted for him in Gaelic,
and guess what?
We actually sounded very close to correct!!!
He was very impressed!

His name is Keiran Hoagan
and he is staying with Mrs. Webster
and learning about American dairy farms!






Morning Challenges...bird sentences





Isabelle READING to the class!




Wednesday we created some toys!
And played with tops and jacks....



We've been watching our tadpoles grow....it takes a LONG time
for a tadpole to become a frog!
Playing in the "pond"


The Magnet center is a hit!



Here we are PAINTING with TOPS!





We decorated our own FRISBEES!
Then we took them outside to try them out....

This one was a hoot!
We had just finished a symmetry lesson...
in the mirror we could SEE the star words
written correctly!
COOL!
