Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fantastic Valentine's Day in first grade today. The kids loved the emoji themed Valentine's Day party. The kids enjoyed making their emoji bag, exchanging Valentine's, coloring various emoji coloring sheets, and playing emoji bingo. 

 

After recess this afternoon, I had a challenge for the kiddos. Their challenge was to work with a partner to build a structure using marshmallows and toothpicks. Their structure had to be built strong enough to hold a book. The kiddos did great and worked so well together!

Oneida Culture Presentation

Today as a part of our unit on cultures, all of the 1st graders at Hemlock Creek got to participate in three activities and presentations by Mrs. Karl and the Oneida Nation Museum. The students made pinch pots with clay and an Oneida clan mobile. The students also really enjoyed listening to and singing Oneida songs.

Popcorn Words

On Friday, we reviewed words that include -ar and -or. The students participated in a "Popcorn Word" activity. They were required to write "-or" words on each piece of popcorn. After writing the word, they then had to underline the -or in each word.
