What a Weekend!

MWow!  We were so lucky to have such a beautiful weekend!  I was so excited with the PPS representatives at Pink Out the Park!  There were so many families from our community there, we really enjoyed running with everyone.  An extra-big congratulations to Sarah, Lucien, Trinity and Emily for finishing the entire 5k.  We have some extremely impressive (and determined!) first graders in our room.

We had an awesome end of the week last week.  We earned 5 more whole-class Pax-It notes and filled our warm-fuzzy bear.  To celebrate 5 whole-class Pax-It notes, we earned a super-deluxe Granny's Whacky Prize.  The prize was that Mrs. Hershman had to bring in a special surprise for the ENTIRE class!  To celebrate filling our warm-fuzzy bear we voted from our list of celebrations.  We decided that tomorrow (Tuesday, October 14) will be PAJAMA DAY in room 12.  Please send your child to school in their pajamas! What a way to celebrate! 

Our WOW word this week is somber.  We learned about apostrophe "S" showing belonging like, "My mom's phone."  We also learned about problem and solutions in fiction writing.
