Our class is preparing for our class valentine celebrations this week

Please send your child with a shoebox tomorrow (2/11).  We are going to begin our valentine box monsters during centers tomorrow.


Our classroom will be turning into a valentine's card shop on Wednesday afternoon.  Please send your child with $1 in coins (Pennies, nickels, and dimes preferred) in a labeled plastic baggie.  The children will practice money exchanges while buying materials for their valentine's cards for their family.  

The money collected by the 1st grade classrooms from the card shop will be donated to NHSPCA. 



Thank you for all your help!

Starfish Eggsperiment

February is Dental Health month. Our class in learning about our teeth and ways to care for them. On Tuesday the Starfish started an Eggsperiment to learn about the effects of various liquids on our teeth. We used 1% milk, coca-cola, cherry Kool-aid, and water. The kids used magnify glasses, cameras on the IPads, and mini-tongs to explore the eggs. Here are some pictures to share our learning. We can't wait to see our results tomorrow!

Note: if your family has any extra unused toothbrushes at home, can you send them in with your child tomorrow. We will use toothpaste and brushes to learn the importance of brushing the sugars from our teeth. Thank you!
