A Special Message

The class worked together to decide a special message. Each puzzle price was inside a balloon! It was fun and exciting to see each friend pop their balloon, look carefully at their puzzle price, then attempt to price together the message. At the end, one segment was still missing. The class decided to invite Mr. Hennessey to pop a ballon too! What fun

"We work together as a team!"

We work together as a Team!

We used balloons to practice teamwork on Wednesday. Groups of two started moving balloons through the gym without using their hands! Groups then increased to 4, 5, 6, 7 and even 8. 

We learned to work together to achieve a goal!!

Building Time

We took some time to practice sharing materials and building with partners last week. Superintendent Of Montoelier Schools, Dr. Ricca, stopped in for a visit, and enjoyed building too!

A Bean Update

Hi Susan,

Here is Beanie Weenie, who started as a sprout from your class. He yielded 28 beans, a few of which Lucia brought to school today. Thanks for getting him going; it was a great learning experience for all of us!

The First Day of First Grade

We had a fantastic day!

We played a "Find- a -Friend " game to get to know each other better.

After some reading time, we explored the new additions to the playground!

After writing workshop, recess and lunch, we practiced counting, and sharing supplies while building together.

It's going to be a great year!
