Meteorologist

What a treat we had this morning, when WMUR's meteorologist Kevin Skarupa came to visit the first graders!

We learned about different types of clouds (including his favorite, lenticular clouds), how he uses computers and maps to make the forecast, rainbows and so much more!

Happy Valentines Day!

We had a wonderful afternoon creating our Kind Comment hearts. Though everyone loved creating, I think they had the most fun sharing their kind comments and reading all the nice things their classmates had to say. Thank you for helping at home with this project!

What started out as a pretty blank canvas...

...quickly was filled  with doillies, comments and stickers...

...and covered with glitter!

Thank you for the donations of stickers and glitter glue to make this project possible!

If your child's Kind Comment heart did not come home on Friday it will come home Tuesday once the glitter glue is dry.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Happy 100th Day!!!

We had a great 100th day--100 days of school, 100 days SMARTER!!!

Many of us had collection of 100 to share (and wear):

Then we moved on to our 8 100 day stations--everyone had a ticket and got to choose their path through the stations. I felt like a conductor, running around punching cards and keeping the orchestra of learning going smoothly.
