I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the High School Saturday night.  The annual Washington Township Carnival will be held Saturday night from 5:30-8:00.

In reading this week we read the story "Lost".    We worked with the 00 sound like in the words look and cook.  We also learned about compound words .  We worked on the comprehension skill of sequencing.   We also worked on the grammar skill of proper nouns for the names of places.  I must say that the first graders are doing an outstanding job on our weekly skills tests.  Keep it up, guys!!

Reading Is What It is All About

The first graders are definitely becoming reading machines.  It is not uncommon at all to see them with their noses in a book.  We seem to come up with all sorts of interesting places to read.  But then just about anywhere is a good place to curl up with a good book.

Camp Read-A-Lot

Camp Read-A-Lot was a huge success.  The children kept telling everyone "We aren't doing any work today.....we are just reading"  If they only knew!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Oswald was one of our guest readers.  She shared the book "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut"
Mr. Parrot shared "Tacky the Penguin".
Mrs. Casper shared a couple of her favorite books.."The Library" and "The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians"
Mr. Schneider was even on of our guest readers.  He shared the book "The Little Engine That Could"

Martha even got in the spirit of things and provided us with a delicious camp lunch that we could eat in our rooms.


Guest readers were quite impresses with the listening skills of the first graders.




Blankets, pillows, and pajamas were definitely in order today.  We were all quite comfy as we laid around and read.
