Hello, May!

What a week!  We've got lots to share with you!

This was the last week of our poetry unit.  Students chose one of their poems to publish and share.  Check them out in the hallways here at school, or here on the blog next week.

We also rehearsed and created movements for a poem that we acted out for the entire first grade!

In readers' workshop, our kindergarten buddies came in to read with us.  It's always one of the highlights of the week!



In math, we've been solving tricky number grid puzzles, comparing measurements, and becoming symmetry pros!

On Thursday Rowe School celebrated ACES Day (All Children Exercising Simultaneously).  Mr. Lipman, Mrs. Gooch, and Mrs. Saxe led our community meeting.  We learned more about the 5-2-1-0 initiative and had fun exercising as a whole school community.  But, the highlight of the meeting was a whole school Harlem Shake!  Afterwards, our class just couldn't get the music out of our heads.  So...we created our own Harlem Shake video!  It was a blast, and we laughed long and hard over the final result.  I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it!
