Football Fever!!!!

The Normal Community Ironmen football players, coaches and cheerleaders came today for a pep
assembly!!!!  Many of the Ironmen are former Gators and we enjoyed seeing all of them!  Here are some pictures from today's festivities.

Fabulous First Graders!!!

As we move into October, we will be working on Fire Safety, Owls, Bats, Making Connections in Reading, writing personal experiences in Writing Workshop and measurement and data in math!  Throw in Columbus and Halloween and we have ourselves a PACKED month!!!

I wanted to share some highlights from September in 1KC.  We worked on growing our schema
(what we know), ocean and forest habitats, math facts to 10 using number lines and ten frames, Johnny Appleseed and apples!!!
Math workshop has been a huge success, thanks in part, to all of the great volunteers!!!  The Gators 
so enjoy having you join us during that time and we hope it is worthwhile for all of you too!!!

Here's to a great month gone and another fun one to come....

Reading Workshop!!!

 We used Lego blocks to reflect the connections we made with a story as a class, then again, at our own seats!!!
