We are so close to Winter Break and the students can feel it!! They have worked so hard this first semester and I am so proud of them. I have seen them grow and change in the short, almost, five months we've been together. It always amazes me how fast they grow. They're starting to look and act like second graders.
This week is very exciting for first grade as we are going to see a production of The Snow Queen. The theatre was kind enough to send us a beautiful book of The Snow Queen to read to the students before they see the play. They have enjoyed the story so much and we will end it tomorrow right before we board the bus. This gives them some background and affords them a better understanding of what is happening in the play. It should be a wonderful experience! 
We continue to read Frog and Toad Are Friends and the students are loving the stories. If you have the opportunity, ask your student about the chapter titled, The Story. They were laughing so hard during that chapter. We were all laughing and couldn't stop. I'm so glad they are enjoying this special series.
We are diving into Early Settlers in history and the human body in science. These units will take us into the New Year. We just started our math unit on graphs. This unit will complete the first workbook. We will begin the second after the break. Time is flying!!
