Friday we had our first Mystery Reader of the year. Thank you very much to Mrs. Garcia for being our Mystery Reader. The kids really enjoyed having someone else come into the room and read to them.
We have some more Mystery Readers set up already for upcoming weeks. This will be going on throughout the year so more dates will be coming. If you would like to be a Mystery Reader for our class and can't make one of the weeks please let me know and we can try to come up with another time for you to come in.
Pictures will be coming soon!

Eggs
This morning two eggs showed up in our classroom. The students were very fascinated and intrigued by them. Their curiosity was immediately piqued. During science class the students made predictions about what they think is inside these eggs. Here is a picture of our eggs.
These eggs are part of our first inquiry unit on dinosaurs that we are starting this week. We will be talking more tomorrow about what we have been asked to do for the unit and write down some questions that we want to find out the answers for during the unit.

Things We are Doing
Last week was our first full week of school. The kids were all very excited to start all their special classes (Latin, Computers, Art, Music, Spanish, and P.E.).
The kids are also loving the new Superkids program. They enjoy hearing each Superkids song and have been requesting to hear some of them again and again. I am very happy to see them getting into the Superkids program. We will be hearing more of the songs this week and hopefully be able to also see the animation that goes along with each character.
This week I am excited to begin our first Inquiry Unit on Dinosaurs. Throughout the unit we will be learning about what the dinosaurs looked like, what they ate, comparing and contrasting different ones and comparing and contrasting them to animals alive today. It should be a very fun unit for the kids.
The SMARTboard in our classroom has also been a big hit with the students. They all get to move their frog to the pond every morning for attendance. We also use it frequently throughout the day for different activities. The kids have gotten to play reading and math games on it already.

Welcome Back!
Welcome back to a new school year! I am very excited for this year and all the fun things we will be doing in first grade. We had a great first few days of school.
The students met the Superkids already. We talked about what each Superkid likes to do and then the students each drew a picture of themselves and wrote something that they like to do. Make sure to ask your child about the Superkids at home.

Day at the Park
The students took a field trip to the park and had a blast running around, climbing, and sliding down the slides. Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying the park.
