SWEET Readers

These SWEET readers have worked really hard to master their first set of sight words.  Way to go Tanika, Matthew, and Kaylee:)

Noah and Elizabeth earned their Blow Pop Award this week by mastering our second set of sight words! Keep up the good work:)

I can't wait to find out who will be a SWEET reader this week!

 

Grandparents Day

We had some special guests for lunch on Friday, September 14th!  Several grandparents were able to attend our Grandparents Day lunch and eat a delicious burger with their special first grader:) 

Smarties

Check out these little "smarties" Noah and Elizabeth were the first two students to learn our first 15 sight words! Way to go:)  Sight words are really important in first grade.  These tricky words cannot be sounded out so the students are learning to recognize them in order to read/write them fluently.

Open House Night

Welcome to first grade!

We've Got Talent!

Our year is winding down very quickly! This week was jam-packed with end of the year activities. Our annual talent show was this past Wednesday and the 3rd grade class performed "Footloose." It's an oldy but goody that the students absolutely LOVED:)

Happy Mother's Day

The students made a personalized notepad holder for their mothers. I think they all turned out pretty neat:)

Prairie Grove Field Trip

On Thursday, April 26th we went to Prairie Grove to tour the battlefield.  The park rangers did an excellent job of painting a picture of life during the Civil War.  The students were very interested in the artifacts and had lots of questions. Afterwards, we ate lunch and walked the mile loop that described the battle between the Union Army and the Confederate Army.
