50th Day!

Today was a very important day in grade 1... the 50th day of school!  We focused quite a bit today on celebrating.  The students were quite excited!

Earlier this week we compared and contrasted how students would dress in the 1950s and how students dress today.  

Today we practiced counting to 50 by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s.  We put together a book about how to make a Root Beer Float, and then we made Root Beer Floats this afternoon!  Many students LOVED them and were very excited. 

 Working on our book on how to make floats.  The biggest question was, "Are we actually going to make floats?"

 The books were sent home today with the students (I'm sure you have already seen them).

 Root Beer Floats are delicious!

YUMMM!!!

 Showing off our books.

 Doing our best impression of how we think we will feel after eating our floats.

Starting on Friday November 15^th from 12.30 – 1.05 p.m. parents are invited to come and join us for reading.  This will happen every Friday unless noted.  Parents do not need to RSVP – please come when it fits into your schedule.

Hope to see you on a Friday!
