The grade ones have been working really hard at adding and subtracting numbers 1 through 12. Today they had to put their listening and problem solving skills to the test. I told the students a story about a bus driver picking students up and dropping them off. At each "stop" the grade ones had to decide whether to add or subtract, and write a corresponding number sentence. The students were very successful and next week we'll be learning about measuring.

This week the grade ones have been working on incoporating the 5w's within their writing. This was their goal when the wrote their blogs this week. After reading them over, some students realized that they didn't answer all of the 5w's; however, I was informed that it would just be too much typing!! Read their blogs to find out what they did over the holidays, and how many of the "W's" they did manage to incoporate!

The grade ones have been learning about "Needs and Wants" in Social Studies. The other day we were looking at homes around the world and afterwards the students created a "Big Book" about all the different kinds of homes discussed. What came out of this all was that homes may come in all shapes and sizes, but the important thing about a home is the people who live in them.

It was a bright February morning and Kalli and Cody were walking to school. They stopped to wave to their friend Emma, who was watching from her bedroom. "Too bad she has the flu," Kalli sighed. "And that she'll miss our class's valentine party today," Cody added. "I wish we had a huge card that she could see from upstairs," Kalli said. "That would be cool," Cody agreed. "But it'd have to be the biggest valentine ever!" he exclaimed. Then a crazy idea came to Kalli...
