Merry Christmas from...

Mrs. Simpson's First Grade Class AND Santa!! 

Saying Good-Bye Is Hard To Do

So instead, we said, "See you later!"  Today was our student teacher, Mrs. Marks' last day!  It was a day of mixed emotions for all!  We laughed, cried, and enjoyed our last day with her!  We surprised her with a going away party this afternoon.  The party included the kids reading their class book, "Mrs. Marks is Amazing so Please Hire Her," presenting her with a gift to remember us by, and enjoying one last read aloud from Mrs. Marks.  We will miss Mrs. Marks and can't wait for her to visit us again!!

Dear Principal, You should hire Mrs. Marks because...

She is a nice teacher!

She teaches us math.

She makes us laugh!

Group hug for Mrs. Marks!

Mrs. Marks' first class of shining stars!

Thank you for all your hard work Mrs. Marks!!

Properties of Matter

The properties of matter discussed in class were solids, liquids, and gases.  We saw an example of a solid (ice), a liquid (water), and a gas (perfume).   We also discussed other examples of each property of matter.  Students had to sort different examples into the correct section on our Properties of Matter Chart.

IT IS BEGINNING TO SOUND A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

We were honored to have the AHS Jazz Band and Singers perform for us on Friday.  The AHS band started with wonderful Christmas music, including Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer!  The AHS Singers took the stage next and provided us with more beautiful Christmas songs and even some dancing!  It really helped us get in the holiday spirit for our own Christmas Program on Tuesday, December 13 at 7:30!
