What's Going on in First Grade?
It's been a busy week! We worked around half days, spirit week and classroom visitors. We enjoyed 60 degree weather and bundled up for blustery snow. We completed big writing projects and nearly finished a math chapter. We laughed, learned, experienced new things and met new people. All this in one week? You bet...these are busy first graders!

A Book Drive
Some Hartwick College students have been working with Mrs. Murdock on a project involving a book drive. This week one of the students visited our class, read us a story and told us about the drive. She informed us that they are collecting books that will eventually be donated to the Riverside Library. Wonderful!

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats)

Fun Friday
It was a perfect winter day to paint a winter picture. But we didn't use just regular old white paint, oh no...we mixed our own! Using shaving cream, glue, glitter and food coloring we created puffy, sparkle paint. It looked so smooth we wanted to touch it with our hands. Black construction paper was the best background for our artwork. The outcome? White, puffy, winter scenes containing igloos, snowmen, snow forts, snow covered trees and of course many, many snowflakes!
