We had such a great time creating our "pet rocks" on Friday! The daunting task of painting with first graders didn't scare me! Let me tell you....listening to and following directions are a BIG part of first grade and I was VERY impressed by your kiddos during our project. Here are some fun pictures of the "pets"!
Our STAR this week is the beautiful, Kendall!! We are excited to learn all about her this week!
Don't forget to check out the new list of spelling words under my "Spelling" page. Spellingcity.com is a website that has our spelling list and games to help your kiddos study their spelling words this week.
Here is a little glance at our week:
