First Grade News and Pics 5/19/23

 It was a great week even with the cold temps (and even some snow squalls!) We celebrated Dragon Week because we finished the Dragon Masters series. The last two books of this series are yet to come out. You can get #24 in August! 

We made all kinds of different dragons, wrote about dragons, read lots of dragon books and even made bite size tacos as a response to the books, Dragons Love Tacos 1 and 2. We became Dragon Masters because we hatched our own dragons from eggs and had special dragon stone necklaces so we could connect with them. We wrote Dragon Diaries, too. Oh, how can I forget...we even had fire breath!

We started reading Charlotte's Web. The Grand in Ellsworth is putting on the Charlotte's Web on Friday, June 2 through Sunday, June 4th. I've seen the play and it's wonderful. Might be a fun family outing. You can get details on this link. The Grand.

Next week we will finish up fairy tales. Our beans have started to grow! We can't wait to take them home.

Our last unit will be rivers and oceans. Where has this year gone?!!
