Magnificent Firsties!

We have enjoyed many read alouds during this first full week of school! One of our favorites was The One, The Only Magnificent Me! written by Dan Haseltine. The small boy in this story discovers the importance of being true to himself. After reading this story, our firsties had a short discussion about our unique qualities and the value in these differences. Lastly, we put our fine motor and listening skills to the test and put together large paper people resembling ourselves! If you happen to visit the building over the next few weeks be sure to check out these awesome creations displayed in the hallway. 

Official First Graders!!

Wow...what a fun first three days we have had together already!  We are getting to know one another more and will continue to do so in the weeks ahead!  We also have discussed how we demonstrate that we are a person of character and how this looks and sounds at Wellman Elementary!  As we also enjoyed a 'Friendship Salad' which included yummy ingredients that reminded us of being a respectful, responsible and safe first grader.  The first graders did great 'cooking' up this salad and then we enjoyed eating together!
