Delk Verba will be next week's super star student.    

 Students will be asked to share their "Moustache You a Question" data collection on Monday.  

 Make sure you ask your child about the Friday review  "Build a Hamburger " assessment.   Students work in teams to answer the review questions.  All questions are based around the standards that we have covered during the past couple of weeks.  

 Students work in cooperative groups to answer each questions.  One reporter is called upon to share a given answer.

 Jacob was the score keepers for all of the tables. Ask your child to explain how the score is kept. 

 Ms. Leslie taught the culminating pronoun lesson today.  The students really enjoyed the hands on activities that she planned for them.  

 

Each child learned how to located their research folder on the school web site.

 We want to thank Ms. Kukunda for being our guest reader today.  She is Anna's aunt.   Remember we have mystery readers each Friday. If you would like to volunteer we would love to have you.  Reading time is from 10:30-10:45. 

 Each child completed their introduction slide and their citation page today.  Many students are ready to start slide two of their power point presentations.   It is simply amazing to see how much the first grade has already learned.  

 Lot's of the children "cashed in" their Dojo points this week.  I had lunch today with two students that used their points to have a special lunch with me.   

We look forward to a full week of learning next week.   Please remind your child that we can have fun while learning, but the expectations for high levels of student achievement are important.  We spent several days reviewing school-wide expectations for meeting with success.
