We were very busy this week.  Mrs. Jones came in and taught us the rules of the ipads and we were able to practice using them. We also visited Mrs. Crawley's room, where we participated in a science lesson on seeds using her 'Smartboard'.  We got together with our 3rd grade buddies too and got to buddy read with them.  In science we talked about what plants need to grow, and set up an experiment planting seeds in different things and places.  Make sure to ask your first grader how this is going and which seed started to grow on Friday.  We started our theme unit on Bats and Owls and using different websites and the Elmo learned some really cool facts about both.  We did some art projects for both and continue to practice writing directions after each project. In math we continue to work on 'Part-Part-Whole' and how to find the missing part when we know the whole and one of the parts. 

Please make sure your child continues to read each night and record their books on their reading log to be returned on Friday.  I have yet to get them all back each Friday.
