Week of December 11, 2017

Monday and Thursday we worked with our big buddies in the Maker Space Lab on two coding programs: Scratch Jr. and Osmos Coding kits.  We had so much fun learning with them!  In class, the students learned two new iPad apps called Kodable and Daisy The Dinosaur.  Many seem to really enjoy the Kodable app.

Tuesday we had a great Art Vistas lesson on the Color Wheel.  We used Primary Colors to make some Secondary Colors.

On Friday, December 15th, the first graders will sing as a gift to you.  The show will begin at 2:00 in the cafeteria.  Students could wear their Holiday outfit for the performance and/or a Santa hat if your child wishes.  Please, no reindeer antlers, bells, or hats that would obstruct the view of another child.  I hope you can make it!

Our class holiday party is coming up on Wednesday, December 20^th.  You will see more information coming soon.

Thank you to all our classroom helpers this week!  Thank you!!

Enjoy a great weekend!
