80'S PLAYGROUND CELEBRATION!

Yesterday we played games in the gym, like back in the 80’s. We played tag, king square, marbles, chinese jump rope, hula hoops, hopscotch, skipping and card flicking. We did this to celebrate Gretna Green’s 30th birthday. When we changed centers, there was a very loud whistle. Callie thought it sounded like a train. Bethany enjoyed hopscotch because she got to jump on one foot and throw a beanbag. Caroline’s favorite game was chinese jump rope because she got to jump and not skip. It was a very good day because we had lots of fun and played lots of games. Happy 30th Birthday Gretna Green! Shared writing – Grade one Mrs. Moody

WEEK OF NOV 29 TO DEC 3

Spelling: This week we are looking at the “dr” word family. Students are learning that a blend is two sounds that quickly move one to the other. When you blend Dee Dee deer and Robby rabbit together they should sound smooth, not choppy. The December Spelling words can be found on our teacher’s page. Writing: Students are continuing to work on the ideas trait this month. Hint of the week: When reading with your child, allow them to quickly look at the picture. This is a strategy we use to help them keep the meaning of their story. Christmas Concert: On December 15th, our grade one students will be singing “I am a Candy Cane Kid”, a copy of this has been sent home in your child’s homework book. Book orders: Due Friday, December 3. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

SNOW DAYS AT GRETNA GREEN

Posted: November 23, 2010

Seed Sprout and Flower

Yesterday we planted seeds. They were corn seeds. We put paper towel in a cup and put six seeds in the cup and watered them. Students want to see the seeds grow from seed to sprout to flower. The reason we are doing this activity is to help our writing grow longer just like a beautiful blooming corn flower. Lucas is hoping that if someone does a great job on their writing, the seed might start to sprout. Wouldn’t that be cool! It was enjoyable! Grade One Mrs. Moody, Shared Writing
