1A Brainiacs: December 2012

Last Friday Alaina's mom visited 1A. She was a mystery reader and discussed some family traditions. Alaina showed us some Christmas decorations she uses at home. Also her Mom read us a book about Kwanzaa and shared how her family celebrates this Holiday.

5th grade friends -

Mr. Simpson invited us to his classroom for a Winter activity. We designed our own snowflake stain glass. Each 1A student colored a 5x5 square of paper and cut out a designated pattern. Our classroom window has a beautiful display of our snowflakes. Come check it out !

Joseph was the last Rock Star of 2012. Joseph has 2 older brothers who also attend Columbus Academy. He read the class Mr.Silly, showed us his favorite lego cube and shared his love of ice hockey. The 1A brainiacs loved the snack of M&M cookies. Thanks Joseph !!

The following pictures are of the students participating
in a Time Treasure Hunt. They had to search the classroom looking for hidden time cards. Next, their job was to write the time down in clock form.

Mrs Harris's last day

On behalf of everyone in 1A we want to say " CONGRATULATIONS! " to Mrs Harris for finishing her student teaching. She will be greatly missed. On her last day she was overwhelmed with emotions from the generous gift basket from 1A students and families. Thanks Mrs. Harris for days filled with Math games, read alouds and fun facts about Brazil. Good Luck with your next adventure.

Robbie Rocks !!

Robbie shared many pictures of his family of 4, his love of Science and his dream of being a Paleontologist. His book The Giving Tree was a class favorite.
