Since there is still a trace of snow on the ground, we had some fun today with snowmen!
We read a few books about snow and snowmen and then created snowmen up close. The first graders did a terrific job of showing the snowman in the foreground, peeking out from the side. As always, they did an amazing job.
Here are some pictures of them hard at work.
I apologize for any paint that got on new hats or new clothes today. We tried our best to stay clean, but somehow paint ends up on clothes. This paint is tempera and should wash out if treated right away.
We also started Topic 6 (making 12) in math today and learned a new game.
Mrs. Morissey and I are humbled by all the sweet and thoughtful gifts we were given this holiday season. I had fun thinking of all the sweet children in our class as I was writing out thank you cards. The cards are tiny, so I hope they made it home safely today.
We are also deeply touched by the amazing holiday box of notes from the class.
Sheri and I really appreciate that you took time out to write to each of us. It means a lot .... so thank you, thank you.
We feel so lucky to have such a great group of students (and parents!) this year.
