Many thanks to the amazing parents that helped to make pumpkin day a huge success! We found combinations of 12 seeds, we played monster math, made glyphs, patterns, symmetry pumpkins, and solved riddles. So much fun was had by all!

It is always tricky to know what to wear where we live or how many layers to pack for our kids, but the cooler temps have arrived. We will continue to go to recess everyday that we are allowed to do so. Please dress your child in weather appropriate clothing. Pants covering legs and/or tights. Jackets are becoming a must and you may want to keep a hat and gloves in your child's bag as an option. I am always here to help them decide which layers are best. Recess is approximately 20-25 minutes twice a day. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Our playground has been graced with return of "Loker Lake". Sand + water + first graders = engineers We had so much fun at recess today with many students in both classes working together to create water ways and islands. I was blown away by the team work, cooperation and determination students demonstrated while having a BLAST! I apologize if clothes are a little dirtier or there is gunk under nails but watching student interact, design and build today was amazing! Our Open Circle yesterday was about respecting each others space. We talked about being a "space bubble popper" when getting too close to others. It is ok to give a friend a hug or hold hands sometimes as long as both friends want to. During most of the day however first graders need to give each other room.
Happy to share that Ms. Pinnaeult (pronounced Ms. Pino) will be based out of our classroom covering Mrs. McCarthy's maternity leave. She brings fresh energy and experience working with students We are happy she will be in our classroom. Welcome!
We are working with Ms. Sole-Robertson's class this year as book buddies. We met and partnered students today and read books together. We will meet with our 5th grade buddies periodically to read or work on special projects, We are all really excited for this partnership. Have a wonderful long weekend! Our multicultural dinner was delicious and so much fun! Thank you for cooking up a storm, coming to school at night, and having dinner all together. I am so excited for the wonderful year we will have together. We will have a second pot luck dinner in May. Date to be determined. |
