What's Happening?

One of our favorite Starfish celebrated his birthday over vacation! Happy 7th birthday!

We had our first practice on the stage this morning with the whole first grade! We can't wait to practice again tomorrow!

Today we started our new fiction writing unit.  Below you will see some of the covers to our new writing folders.  Prior to vacation, the Starfish dove into many series books during reader's workshop.  We brainstormed main characters and character traits.  We talked about how authors often choose characters based on prior experiences and people in our lives.  We can't wait to share more as we begin writing our stories! Ask your first grader about their book characters.  Many already have story ideas and problems that will happen in their series!
