Our First Graders celebrated Feliz Navidad Day!
They learned about the legend of the poinsettia.  A lot of the students were surprised they were real!  They thought it was major magic at work when they say how a few of the leaves were changing from green to red.  The students all created their own Christmas Poinsettias.  Miss Dooley's class reviewed their sight words by writing them on small Christmas lights, tangling them up in the antlers of reindeer and then mounting a 3D reindeer head on paper. Yes, the first graders did all the folding and gluing of the poinsettias and the reindeer. Amazing!

First Graders celebrated Christmas Tree Day today! They went on a scavenger hunt around the classroom to find Christmas trees that had different math problems. They also used shapes to make their very own Christmas trees. To end the day, students got to eat Christmas tree treats. It was a very busy day in First Grade! 

Mr. Hanosek visited Mrs. Barnum's class and taught them how to do Quizlet and the kids loved competing with each other to win at subtraction games!
