100th Day of School
Friday the 27th was the 100th day of school. First grade students brought displays of 100 items to share with all three classrooms. After lunch students toured through each class looking at the different displays. Students also made silly 100th day hats and Fruitloop necklaces to wear. All Marshall students were invited to dress in a 100th day shirts or as if they were 100 years old.
January Late Start STEM Day
Our theme for this months Late Start STEM project was snowflakes. We watched a video on how snowflakes are formed and also one about a scientist that photographs snowflakes all over the world. Then each student created their own snowflake out of pipe cleaners. We used these pipe cleaner snowflakes as a framework on which to grow borax crystals. While Mrs. Jones and I hung the snowflakes in jars students drew and colored a tree with white snowflakes around it. After coloring they used watercolors to paint the sky. The crayon resisted the watercolors allowing the white snowflakes to show through. How neat is that! On Friday the snowflake crystals were done forming and we were able to take them home.

Newsletter January 9, 2017
After printing the newsletter I noticed that I made a mistake in the math section. I flipped this weeks and next weeks math. We are doing skip counting with 2's, 5's, and 10's this week and place value will be next week. To save on ink I didn't reprint it, but I did fix it on the digital copy. The rest of your newsletter is correct. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Our first week of the New Year
We had a great first week back after Christmas break. In science we learned about penguins. We read nonfictions about them and then made our own All About Penguins booklet. Then in writing we did a short New Year's Resolution writing activity on cute sock paper.
