First Grade has done it again!
We are PIBLISHED AUTHORS!!
Since coming back from Christmas Break, we have been busy with rough drafts, editing, and lots of illustration practice.
This class decided that they wanted to write one cohesive story, and they blew me away with how well they did. My classes before chose a general topic and then picked different items to talk about within that topic, this is the first year we have had a setting, characters, and a plot!
They worked extremely hard throughout the whole process and showed some of their best writing.
I could not be prouder of them and the work they did to create this book!

The Kindergarten class has been learning about colonial farms and towns. They learned about the jobs of millers and bakers. They were extremely interested in the entire process of making bread, from planting the seed, making flour, and of course baking the bread. We decided that today would be a great day to bake some bread!
Some questions to ask your student:
What is the job of a miller and a baker?
How did we make the bread?
How do colonial farms and towns work together?

Wow. I am truly speechless and full of gratitude right now.
On February 5th I started a project through Donors Choose to raise money to get iPads for my classroom. Donors Choose is a platform for educators to use to raise funds for classroom supplies and necessities that they cannot afford themselves.
My goal for this project was to have a more effective and efficient way for 1st graders to utilize online resources through different learning platforms. This helps to really enhance their learning and knowledge gains in each subject area, which leads them towards mastery of 1st grade skills.
Just over a month after starting this project, it was fully funded. It is because of the generous donations I received from friends, family, businesses around town, and General Motors matching each donation given that this was made possible.
The support I have received and the generosity of everyone who helped fund these iPads means so much to both my students and I. and has made this dream come true for our classroom.
I truly appreciate the continued support you show not only me but the entire McClusky-Goodrich Public School. Without you, this would have never been possible. From the bottom of my heart; THANK YOU!
Mrs. Felchle
