Congrats to our kindness and grit award recipients!  Thanks to all of our Special Someones for coming in for our "One Word" activity! We read the first chapter of our science reader to learn about different types of energy in our homes. We learned that energy can given off as heat, motion, light, and sound. We enjoyed playing an adding game with our 1st grade buddy after assisting them with their letters to their special someones. We started our next Thinking Classroom Activity.

In art, some kids made beautiful snowflakes. We listened...
