100th Day with Our Friends from RHS

On Friday morning Mrs. Oxford's senior English class helped us work on a project for our 100th day. We illustrated a poem about 100 animals. The students worked on committees with their high school friends to decide what they needed to put on the poster to illustrate their section of the poem. Then they worked together to finish their page. Unfortunately we didn't get quite finished so we will post again when the class finishes the project but thanks to our RHS friends we got a great start.

Reading Buddies

The students from one of Mrs. Oxford's classes from the high school visited our class on Friday. Our first graders were so excited to meet them and begin to get to know them. They will be coming every Friday morning for the rest of this semester to read or practice language arts skills with our class. This week they read the story, Tomas Rivera, from our reading series with the kids. Then they each helped their first grade buddies complete a vocabulary worksheet. Finally, the first graders used books about penguins in our classroom or facts they had learned about penguins to write a sentence to add to our penguin display we are working on. The first graders really enjoyed the visit and are certainly looking forward to seeing their reading buddies next week.
