Community Writing

On a Writing Note:

Our Green Chimps having been working very hard on their "5 Little_____" stories.  Mrs. Eshman and I split our class into two groups and created two different stories:
5 Little Dogs Chasing After People
and
5 Little Ghosts Having a Pillow Fight

The stories turned out really cute.  Check out our pictures!






On a Math Note:

Miss Kauffeld is an amazing math teacher!  Last week our firsties examined shapes.  Miss Kauffeld had the students comparing and contrasting shapes with a venn diagram.



The students came up with some great ideas!


Enjoy your week!
Mrs. Hutchison

A HUGE Thanks!

Thank you for taking time away from your families to join us in conversations about your firsties during our two conference nights.  We really enjoyed learning more about your firstie and your families. 

We have been hard at work and we wanted to post a few pictures of our firsties voting and working on our ipads in writing.  We have had a GREAT time using them to write an informational piece about community helpers.  We also use them for spelling practice and community writing.







 
 
Have a VERY, CURIOUS week!!!!!

A Day Full of Learning

Wow!  What a "boo"tiful Wednesday it was inside our building.  :)  Our firsties had SO.MUCH.FUN. making silly pumpkins after reading Pumpkin Heads! by Wendall Minor. Your little firsties LOVED this story!  It was FULL of different ideas about pumpkin faces.  Take a look at what a few of our firsties came up with.








We also went hunting in the dark with our glow sticks for math facts and words.  So EXCITING!


  

  


This was a GREAT day of learning that ended with your firstie "shopping" for his/her treats!  :)

  


Have a VERY CURIOUS weekend!
Your Curious Teachers
