NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEK

The 1-2s will not have homework the week of December 16th-20th.  Please enjoy a winter break!

Warm Winter Clothes

Please be sure your child brings warm clothes every day. We go out for a morning recess from 7:25-7:45 and after lunch from 12:00-12:25. Your child needs a warm jacket, snow pants, boots, a hat and mittens every day.  Even these turkeys are dressed for the winter!

These cute little mice and mitten ornaments will be for sale at our annual UID Craft Fair on Wednesday, December 11th. The first and second grade friends worked hard to make these crafts. We hope to see you there!

New Friend in Mrs. Cowan's Class

We had a new friend join our class this week. Jayden is our new second grade friend!   Welcome Jayden!

First and second graders included a writing piece in the Town of Underhill Time Capsule. 

It will be opened in the year 2063 when we celebrate the 300th birthday of the town.  Ask your child to share what s/he thinks life will be like in 50 years.

What are you thankful for?

First and second graders shared different things they are thankful for this week. They traced their hands and added feathers to our thankful turkeys. They wrote what they are thankful for on the feathers. Most of them wrote about their families!

Classroom Celebration

We had so much fun at the classroom party yesterday! The children really enjoyed the craft. They worked on creating a lantern by gluing different color pieces of tissue paper over a glass container. 

Science 

States of Matter

First and second graders are exploring the properties of solids and liquids. They are making observations using their five senses.  They noticed that solids have a shape of their own but liquids take the shape of the container.

ALL SCHOOL MEETING

The class really enjoyed leading All School Meeting on Tuesday. The children shared writing pieces, apple mosaics, and songs. We also created a Jammin' Minute and had the whole school exercise. Derek chose the healthy tip which was: Don't eat junk food, eat healthy food!

Our Classroom Rules

Mrs. Cowan's first and second grade friends brainstormed rules together. They decided these rules were important to have so everyone can achieve their goals this year.

1.  Take care of yourself and materials.
2.  Be safe and stay in your own space.
3.  Treat others the way you want to be treated.
4.  Try your best and have fun!

Morning Recess
Next week we will start having a morning recess from 7:25-7:45.  All K-2 students will walk in the building, leave backpacks in the gym, and head out to the playground.  Teachers will be outside monitoring while students enjoy talking with friends and getting exercise.
