What We've Been Up To...

We've been studying the lifecycle of owls this week.  The first graders have been hard a work making owl lifecycle wheels to teach family and friends their newfound knowledge!

Our first round of story publishing is in full swing!  Writers' workshop has been filled with meticulous handwriting, detailed drawings, book spelling, and fancy laminated covers.  These first graders LOVE publishing...I have a feeling there will be many more published books in our future!

We're still studying digraphs!

Pattern-making was the name of the game in math this week.

We made our Rowe School bus drivers some cards to show how much we appreciate them.  Whether it's bringing your child to and from school each day, to the occasional friend's house, or on field trips, these wonderful people do so much to keep Rowe students safe.

We were lucky enough to get sneak peek into the Dave Mason's world of storytelling.  He only told 2 stories, but the students were hooked!  He'll be telling more Halloween stories next Wednesday evening at YES as a fundraiser for the PTO.   Here's just a quick clip from his time at Rowe!
