Red Ribbon Week

Monday's theme:  We have the power to be drug free!

Cardboard Creations!

Here are some proud 1st graders and the things they created out of cardboard.   Lots of creativity and effort went into this project.  Thanks to all the families that helped make this day a big hit!

Student bloggers

We are learning about blogging in 1st grade!  We have a class blog (see link on the right or here) and each student has their own page on the blog.  We will be using these blog entries to share what we are learning about in school and to show projects students have made.  The kids love to get feedback from their families so please check often and share the link with other family members who would like to leave comments!  When you leave a comment, you only need to leave your name (what your child calls you) and the comment.  There is a space for email addresses, but just leave it blank.  This is the same process the kids use to comment on a classmate's post:  just their first name and their comments.  We have talked a lot about digital citizenship and our THINK! rule.  Before leaving comments or posting online, students need to think about whether what they want to post is Truthful, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind.  If it doesn't meet the THINK! test, then it should not be posted online.  I hope you will enjoy reading your child's posts, looking at their work, and watching as their writing skills develop throughout 1st grade!
