Simile and Metaphor Books

Today we got to share some of our writing! We have been working on figurative language during our writing time.  Students created a book that describes themselves in similes and metaphors.  They are great and really funny!  We read each other's books and wrote compliments to the author.  I am so proud of their hard work!

Reading books and writing compliments.

Dr. Parker joined in the fun too!

Reading is Amazing!

Hi! I'm Annie, Mrs.Donze's student blogger. We are learning about text features in nonfiction books and magazines.

We are looking at a project that we did in reading. We had to find examples of text features in a magazine.


                                         Did you know that caption's tell you about a real picture?

Index,Glossary,Caption's wow so many things to know about in reading. Now that I know this stuff I can be a author when I grow up!

Missouri Maps

This is Logan from Mrs. Donze's room and I am this weeks class blogger.

This week in Social Studies we worked on our Missouri maps.

                                         For our test we needed to know the states that border Missouri, the visual  artists,writers, and the jazz musicians from Missouri.

                                         Many immagrants live in Missouri. Immagrants are people who move from one country to another country.

                                        

Buddy Bracelets

Hello this is Allison!  I am this weeks student blogger!  Last week we meet with our first grade buddies in Mrs.Theodore's class.We made buddy bracelets. We used a pipe cleaner and beads to learn about each other. Every bead represented something different, like pink was for a girl and blue was for a boy. We learned how many siblings they had how many pets they had and much more. It was a blast!

Place Value Math Stations

To help us review for our place value test, we had math stations today.  Students used the Moodle, played  "I'm the Greatest" place value game, did a Place Value Crossword, and worked with Mrs. Donze.

Having fun playing "I Am the Greatest"!

Long School Expectations

During the first day of school, students participated in rotations to learn Long School Expectations.  We learned about using a "5s" line in the hallways (silent, still, straight, slow, and smiling), had a refresher on how to correctly use the recess equipment, discussed safe bus behavior and what to do when exiting the bus before school, cafeteria etiquette, and how to efficiently use the restroom and wash hands thoroughly. Our class did a terrific job listening and learning during our afternoon rotations!  I think we are going to have a a super year!
