JH Stars Have Fun Learning

October had been a busy month in our 1st grade class, and time is flying by!  In Writing we are working on a Persuasive piece, and we completed our Animal Acrostics.  We learned about Christopher Columbus and his explorations in Social Studies.  We continue to learn our Addition facts in Math, and are using the adding facts we know to learn about subtraction.  We have been reading and discussing how to show that we are Responsible at home and at school.  I enjoyed visiting with parents at Parent-Teacher Conferences.  My students are fortunate to have adults in their lives who care so much!  My students were VERY excited to start using i pads to practice their Sight Words.  The high school FFA provided a hay rack ride and pumpkin patch for the grade school classes.  We got to pick out a pumpkin for our class and decorate it.  We made a purr-fect cat. Another exciting time was our Halloween party and parade.  Thanks to all the parents who contributed to our fun party!  We also celebrated 2 birthdays in October-Mariah and Dillon.  As you can see, it has been a fun-filled month!
