Back to School Fun!

We have enjoyed getting to know one another more in first grade and building our community of friends within the classroom! We have now been in school one month and it has flown quickly by. To say goodbye to summer we enjoyed reading the story, The Enormous Watermelon. We then sponge painted our own watermelons and enjoyed a slice of this yummy vegetable! Yes...we learned that watermelon is actually a vegetable!!

We also discussed how sometimes we may encounter work that will seem difficult, but we shouldn't be discouraged or give up. We then read the story, The Little Engine That Could and shared ideas of what each of us can do this year in first grade. To complete this short unit, we then made Little Engine Twinkie Trains!
