In Literacy students are examining the book, “The Little Red Pen.” First graders are learning to identify characters' feelings using evidence from the illustrations and text. In anticipation of working with a group to create a magnificent thing for our classroom, they continue to learn about habits of character as personified classroom tools pull together to solve a problem. This week’s focus question was: “What work does initiative help the characters do?”
On Friday, November 22 we will be traveling to Billings Farm for a culminating field trip for the tools and work unit. The purpose of this adventure is to learn about tools on the farm and to celebrate Vermont's heritage of hard work. We plan to leave school around 9:30 and will return to school around 1:00. Students should bring a bagged lunch, including a healthy snack, to eat at the farm (please plan on packing your child a home lunch on that day.) Please let me know if your child will need a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from the school cafeteria that day.
