Goodbyes are hard

One of our wonderful classmates is moving tomorrow and will no longer be in class with us. So we made goodbye cards for him today so that he will never forget his friends at Eagle Heights.

Painting pumpkins

Last week was pumpkin week in Senorita Palmer's first grade class. On Wednesday we got to paint some mini pumpkins donated by a wonderful room mom. Look how beautiful they are!

Pumpkin seed taste testers

Yesterday our class got a little messy as we cut open a pumpkin and counted its seeds. Did you know that a large pumpkin might have 437 seeds like ours did? Today we got to try the baked seeds . Some really like them, and some really did not.

We're goin' on a vowel hunt

And we're searching for some words that start with our special 5 letters. Long ones, short ones, and silly ones too!

Play dough word work

The kids it used play dough today to practice making their spelling words in preparation for the quiz on Friday. This is a great way to practice at home as well!

While on the search for words with ca, co, or cu, the students ended up finding the jackpot and laying on the carpet to copy them.

Snack time

The students enjoyed their snack while chatting with friends on Thursday.

Where do I live?

The students started a project today to help them understand where they live in this big world. We started with the most basic...their house! Do you know your address?
