Service Learning Buddies

For the last few weeks we've been lucky enough to have three service learning students volunteer during our after school program to help out with reading. They teach the kids a lot and have become wonderful role models. Couldn't pass up the chance to take a picture of these two!

Morning journal entries are getting better and better! I love the innocence in this one- I'd vote for her any day!

Graphing with M&Ms

We had a lot of fun on Friday learning to sort, tally, and make bar graphs using M&Ms! Thanks to Mr. Algra and Ms. Paula for helping!

Character Ed/ Pumpkin Writing Assembly

What a great assembly to celebrate our wonderful kids! Today we awarded a student of the month, author of the month, and TWO of our classmates tied for FIRST place in the pumpkin writing contest. Way to go, first graders!
