Happy New Year!
Welcome Back to 2011!
We are quickly getting back into our routines after our two week vacation. It sounds like everyone had a great holiday! Please continue to check our blog often for updates and a virtual glimpse of our classroom.
Writing will be a major focus for us during the next month as we perfect our skills and focus on developing sentences that make sense and are interesting to the reader. We will continue with our word study focus and will begin List #6 next week. I am pleased to see that students are transferring their knowledge of these basic sight words to their daily writing.
This week we have been counting using dimes, nickels and pennies in math. A firm grasp of rote counting by fives and tens makes this job much easier. Next week we will move on to time to the hour, and then to the half hour.
Please keep sending in the shoe boxes. We will begin our project with them in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for your continued support or our program. If you have a minute please comment on the blog. We love reading the comments.

The Gingerbread Mystery
Greetings,
During the month of December, 1F students worked diligently comparing the characters, settings, and events of a variety of versions of the traditional tale of the Gingerbread Man. We are getting very good at retelling a story!
Next, thanks to the assistance of Mrs. G., we were able to make some delicious gingerbread cookies. We worked very hard decorating the cookies and took great care placing them in the oven to cook. When we went to retrieve our cookies, imagine our surprise when all we found was a note,
"Run, run, run really fast, you can't catch us we are the gingerbread class!"
1F students looked all over the school for the little rascals. They left notes in our gym teacher, Mr. Konrad's class, the office and even in Mrs. Woodruff's library. Poor Mrs. Woodruff thought she may have closed the door on a little brown foot and is pretty sure they left flour on her library floor.
Just before we got ready to go home there was a knock on our classroomdoor. One of the GNPS staff caught the little stinkers running down the hall. Needless to say, we gobbled them up quickly before they could escape again! It was an exciting day!
