Wow! A Full Bear!

We accomplished something AMAZING on Friday- we filled up our warm-fuzzy bear in one day!  We were working so hard to be safe, respectful and ready to learn.  Our new friend, Dominic, was working exceptionally hard!  We're so glad to have him as an addition to our class, now we have ANOTHER first grader who is helping us fill our bear- we're so lucky! 

We will celebrate filling our bear this Friday with a pajama/stuffed animal/movie morning.  The first graders know I can't stand stuffed animals, so they are really looking forward to bringing a small one to school for the day. 

Today we reviewed Venn diagrams and compared and contrasted beaches we read about.  We also compared and constrasted other things in our notebooks. 

We are beginning to learn about opinion writing in writing.  We had some very funny opinions to share today.
