How To Decorate a Christmas Tree!

Last week we followed our steps in our class functional piece of writing "How To Decorate a Christmas Tree". Now we have a lovely Christmas Tree in our classroom!

Day and Night

In Science we are studying the differences between the day sky and the night sky. We are also learning about the importance of the Sun and also how we must protect ourselves from it's harmful rays. The students drew pictures of the day sky and the night sky.

Last week we began functional writing in Writer's Workshop. After listing our ingredients, materials and steps on how to make an ice cream sundae, we followed our instructions and made a delicious treat. In this genre the students need to list necessary materials and instructions that will inform others on how to "do something" that they are good at.

We Pledge to be Drug Free

Friday was the final day of our Red Ribbon Week at Parkwod. We all took a pledge to lead a drug free life!

Red Ribbon Week

We kicked off Red Ribbon Week at Parkwood today by "Putting a Cap on Drugs". The students were allowed to wear a cap to school. Here are a few students posing in front of our posters we made to celebrate "Say No To Drugs Week".

Picture Lady

We are so excited that the Picture Lady is back! The first grade classes are so fortunate to have Mrs. Severson come visit once a month and share her knowledge of art. This week we learned about the artist Winslow Homer. Mrs. Severson shared a print of his painting, The Gulf Stream. We also learned about different painting mediums and techniques.

Guest Reader

We were very excited to have one of our students from last year come and read to our class. It is always exciting as a teacher to see how our students have grown as readers.
