Friends 2016

Our 1st class movie:  Friendship Is

Narrative Writing

In writing, we have been working on narratives. (2.W.3)  A narrative is a story about an event in your life.  We are learning to add details and feelings with a reaction. Here is an example:  When Zach scored the winning goal I was so excited I jumped up and down.  Tomorrow we will practice writing interesting endings.   

Bulletin Board/Harvest Celebration

On Friday, October 28th we will be having our Harvest Celebration in the classroom from 2:20-3:00.  Stop in and check out our patch of learners!  All are welcome to join us!!

Fire Safety Presentation

On Monday, volunteers from the Colchester Fire Department came to our classroom and talked about fire safety.  Your child may have come home talking about this.  Please take this opportunity to discuss a safety plan at your house.

Community AppleSauce

Thank you to all families for providing sliced apples for our applesauce!  It was a great community building activity and it was delicious!

Harvest Celebration

We will be having a Harvest Celebration on Friday, October 28th from 2:20-2:50 in Room 12.  Please see the sign-up to the left of this blog post.  I also sent it out via e-mail with the link to all families.

Thank you in advance!

Double Dude

In math we have been mastering our doubles and learning how to use the double strategy to solve other addition problems.  For example, if you know 5+5=10 it helps you solve 6+5=11 because 6 is 1 more than 5 so the answer is 1 more.  On Fun Friday we incorporated some art and made Double Dude.  :)

Open House Tonight!

The students are ready to share their classroom with family and friends tonight!  A BIG thank you to ACE Hardware in Colchester for donating the popcorn for our Open House tonight!  We really appreciate it!

Harvesting Carrots for the Food Shelf

Last spring your child planted carrot seeds for the Colchester Food Shelf.  Today your child harvested them and donated them to our local food shelf next door.  What a GREAT community service lead by Jeanne and Ralph Perkins!  Enjoy photos of your kiddos below:
