Caring For Classmates
Today we had a very special guest - Mr. Allen! Mr. Allen is from N.C.A.D.A and is here to present a very important program called "Caring for Classmates."

Today we talked about how EVERYBODY is special and it's important to give ourselves and each other PUSH UPS. A push UP is the opposite of a put DOWN.
Today we brainstormed different things that make each of us special. Mr. Allen gave everybody homework for next week - ask mom and dad to help us think of two more reasons we are special.
What makes YOU special?
Mr. Allen will be here for four lessons:

Writing Checklist
Right before Spring break we started our fiction unit in Writer's Workshop. These first graders have some AWESOME imaginations! Their stories are very creative and everyone seems to really enjoy our new unit!
When we write, we have to remember A LOT of things - capital letters, punctuation, order words, dialogue, nO mIxInG lEtTeRs, a beginning, middle, and end, and MANY other things! To help us, we have started using a planning/editing/revising check-off page when writing our fiction stories. Check it out below!
