We had such a wonderful week in 1st Grade.   Our engineering project was one of our successes.  Students rewatched a video about how the Empire State Building was built and it's features.  Then, we constructed our final buildings.  I emailed pictures of all groups home! If you didn't get the pictures, email me so I can add you to our list.  Students listed materials and wrote about how they constructed their buildings. 

The "Dog Walker"  was my second Book Talk Group! We learned the Silent E Rule of "Elvis in the House".  :)  Ask your child if they are in this group what we did!

I want to encourage you to make sure you going over reading and word cards at home.   Spelling gets a little more difficult.  Students on grade level for 100 Book should now be on "B" or higher.  Keep working hard!

We can't wait to see our moms for our Pumpkin Day on Thursday and don't forget to dress for Community Helper Day on Friday.  We have worked hard on our Question /Answer books and we look forward to presentations.
