Dress Up Day

Today we all dressed up in our nice Christmas clothes for Mass. The kids looked wonderful today.

Nativity Character Dress Up Day

Yesterday, we had Nativity Character Dress Up Day. All of the students dressed up like different people from the Nativity. We had Mary (complete with baby Jesus), Joseph, stars, angels, shepherds, wise-men, and animals. The kids had a great time and looked awesome.

Happy Candy Cane Day!

Today we celebrated Candy Cane Day! The students dressed in red and white today and we did all things candy cane. We took a picture with the whole school in the shape of a candy cane. We read the book The Legend of the Candy Cane. We watched the movie The Legend of the Candy Cane. We got candy cane bookmarks. We also painted candy cane ornaments. It was another great day of Christmas Week!

Christmas Shirt and Sock Day!

Today was the start of Christmas Week here at school. We started the week off with Christmas shirt and Christmas sock day. The kids looked great in their festive clothes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

On Monday, the whole first grade took part in a Thanksgiving tradition. The Pilgrims and Indians came together to share in a meal. Mrs. Schultz's class were the Pilgrims and we were the Indians. In the morning, the kids helped make our Friendship Soup. We made cornbread in the afternoon. We of course finished the day by sharing in the meal together. The kids had a great time during the day and enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving.

Blend Bingo

On Friday, we played BINGO. Instead of playing with regular numbers, we played with words that have blends at the beginning of them. It was a fun way to practice listening for blends and finding words with the same blends. The kids had a great time.

Grandparent's Day

Friday we celebrated Grandparent's Day in conjunction with Veteran's Day. We had a fabulous Mass in the morning followed by activities in the classroom. The kids had a great time showing their grandparents around the room and the school and sharing some of the things we have been doing. Here are some great pictures from the day.
