First Grade World

Friday, February 5, 2016

We had our first mystery reader! Thank you Jessi for coming in and reading to the students! You picked a wonderful book and the students were glued to the story the entire time! If you haven't read "Peanut Butter & Cupcake" you must check it out!

Break the rules party!

These hardworking first graders filled our reward marble jar! They came up with different party ideas and made the final decision to have a "break the rules" party. The students enjoyed chewing gum, having their shoes off, getting extra free choice, watching a movie with a snack and many more broken rules!

James and the Giant Peach

We started reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl in December and finished it just in time for the Duluth Playhouse Production of James and the Giant Peach. The students seemed to really enjoy the book! There was plenty of humor and interesting characters. I asked the students what they liked better, the book or the play. I got shouts of "THE BOOK!" I agree! Books always have more details! This was the first time to a theater for some of the students which was really exciting!
