Mrs. Veldman's 1st Grade Classroom Blog

Take a look at some of the fun we had celebrating the end of the school year.  What a great week!

Terrific Reading Opportunity this Summer!
In order to keep reading going strong throughout the summer, we will be opening our Georgetown School Library once a week! On Wednesdays,10:00-12:00 am, we will have our library open for Georgetown students to check out books. This is a great time to try out some new books, reread some old favorites, reconnect with friends, and see some of your favorite teachers. Our first date for Wednesday check-out will be June 16. Mark your calendars and hope to see you there!!!

Thanks to everyone who had a hand in celebrating the writing accomplishments of our 1st graders……we hope you had a wonderful day.  Below is the link to the Georgetown School Blog and the official post.

Just Write Celebration

Every year, we first graders look forward to celebrating the end of the year together outside with bubbles, sidewalk chalk, popsicles, and fun!  We are all stocked up on popsicles and FUN, but…we would LOVE if you would      add bubbles, large bubble wands, or sidewalk chalk to one of your shopping lists in the next few weeks.  We hold our celebration on the second to last day of school, so if you are willing to help supply us, you can feel free to send in your goodies anytime before the second to last day of school.   Thanks so much!

With the beautiful spring weather that we have had lately, our class had great fun on the playground.

Catch them if you can…..

Recess Fun

As part of our science curriculum, our class observed the journey of 5 little caterpillars as they became butterflies.  Recently, we said farewell…..happy life, little friends!

Butterfly Farewell

Take a look at our latest Writing Celebration…..we worked hard at showing what we know, as we completed  All About Books.

Enjoy!

Our very important celebration of our year long work in writing takes place next week – May 24-28.  Our class will tour parents and important visitors on:       THURSDAY, MAY 27,  3:00-3:30 pm

Everywhere you look, descriptive and rich and meaningful words will be displayed on:  lockers, walls, windows, and doorways.  Our published books from this year and year’s past will be on display in the rotunda.

Each writer’s story is published in a class anthology (collection) that is available for purchase (shipped directly to your home) or free download.  To see these books, visit the LULU link on the front of our school blog look for our class link on this link:  ABOUT OUR WRITING JOURNEY
