Exploring Glogster

In preparation for an upcoming short vowel homework project we created a "Glogster" with information we learned about the first Thanksgiving. For more information about the first Thanksgiving, please visit the website we used this past month: http://www.scholastic.com/scholastic_thanksgiving/

Singular and Plural Noun Photostory

Check out this photostory we made together about singular and plural nouns. We worked with a partner, chose a noun, and wrote sentences for the singular and plural form of the nouns we chose.

We are voters!

To finish up our study of the U.S.A. we discussed the election and the importance of voting. We learned about the different ways to vote and talked about times we need to vote on things. We applied this knowledge to the presidential election and participated in a mock election today in our classroom. Each girl visited the "1A Voting Booth" to cast their vote for president. We used a paper clip and placed it in a sealed container labeled with the candidates' names. Each girl received a "Good Citizen" certificate which we hung in the hallway. After everyone voted, Mrs. Crowley counted the votes and in our class election Barack Obama won. We are excited to find out who wins the real election!!
