We have been busy learning about communities for social studies over the past couple of weeks. The kids really enjoyed this "Me on the Map" activity that I found on Pinterest. (As always, my favorite site never lets me down in the idea department!) Quote from one of my 1st graders while we were working on putting our projects together, "This isn't work! This is fun!"
To download the template for this project, please visit the blog "Pencils, Glue & Tying Shoes HERE. Ideas for other activities (also found on Pinterest!) that the kids really enjoyed can be found HERE and HERE.
This past Wednesday, all EPAA students had a special assembly. Coach Casio presented 10 health and wellness principles of "The Green Body Pledge" to the students.
Parents, and anyone who is local to us, our school is having a Scholastic Book Fair. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be divided between the classrooms. About 80% of our classroom library is actually comprised of books from my own personal library. Don't tell my husband, but I purchase books for our library each month! If anyone would like to help purchase books for our classroom library, we have a classroom wish list at the book fair. The book fair runs through November 7, and hours are 3-4 P.M. We also have a wish list on Amazon that can be found HERE.
Have a great November!
