Leprachans

 Mrs. Mead's class made leprechaun traps and Mrs. Mead come into KC and shared some of her Leprechaun stories with us. Her class made friendly traps for homework. Students in KC have been talking and writing about the Bates Leprechaun. We will share some of our stories this week on a Voice Thread.

We saw these footprints by the lockers leading into Mrs. Mead's class!

This is one for the first grade traps.

Making Shapey

We received a very special letter from a shape person called Shapey. Shapey heard we are amazing problem solvers and left us with a math project to solve. Shapey is made of a certain shapes and he is symmetrical. We had to help make a self-portrait of  Shapey for his  dad's birthday. Here we are working on Shapey.

Showing Our Feelings At Writing

We are learning in KC that good writers show how they are feeling! We are becoming experts on telling our feelings. We made a strong feelings chart last week and now we are working on what the feeling looks like and sounds like.  We played charades using our bodies and trying to guess the feeling.

We read the following

We brainstormed what would a person do, act or say if they were feeling

In small groups we worked on the feeling sheets below! Each group recorded back to the class.

On a different day we worked on creating showing sentences below. We started with the sentences
