On Friday the first graders certainly proved that they have many talents! You heard their beautiful voices on stage, and later saw and heard their flair for the written word. It has been such a fun week preparing for the writing celebration. Because the children wrote these stories at the end of September and early October, they were so surprised to reread them and see how far they had progressed. Due to the word work they have done for the Super Secret Detective Agency (go ahead and ask your child about earning their badges!) the children were able to find and correct many spelling errors. Their eyes and ears are now focused on many more high frequency words on the word wall and they are ever on the hunt for word endings requiring a silent e. There was much laughter as they looked at their pieces written so long ago!
We hope everyone has a relaxing two weeks full of family, food, fun and festivities. Enjoy your children!
