Week in Review!
We had so much fun at our Junie B. field trip at the Opera House! 

I introduced our first graders to my traveling friend Globetrot Scott! He has been sending us packages from all over the world to teach us about traditions around the holidays.

He has visited France and sent us Yule Logs!

He visited Germany and sent us an advent calendar and ginger snaps!

We are excited to see where he goes this week :) 

We are working hard on opinion writing. This week, we worked together to distinguish the difference between facts and opinions by using nonfiction texts.

We also dug further into our measuring skills by talking about centimeters. We played a fun game with dice and cubes to get us ready for adding lengths of measurement together. :)

Here's to another great week :)
