STARLAB
We were lucky to have Webster County Conservation bring STARLAB, which is a portable planetarium. We felt like we were under the night sky. We learned about different stars and some of the most noted constellations. We all had fun and liked crawling through the tunnel to get into the STARLAB.

We enjoyed exchanging valentines!
We played 2 games. Cupid, Cupid, Where's my Arrow and Heart toss.
We sorted, counted, and graphed candy hearts.
Look at our pretty Valentine boxes.
Thank you Devin, for supplying the candy hearts!Friday, February 11, 2011
Conference Schedule
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This morning we scheduled conferences. Below is the schedule for my first grade. We worked together to schedule siblings together. We will send a note home with that information next week. Please note that the time slots are very close together so you will need to be on time in order to have your conference. Also we will have to stick to a 15 minute time limit to keep things running smoothly. If something is not going to work for you, please let me know as soon as you can so we can try to get things changed. I look forward to talking with you all! Thanks!

Fun with Attribute Blocks!
Introducing...Geometry
Triangle*Hexagon*Square*Rectangle*Circle
We sorted the blocks by shape and color. We played "Guess the Shape" by describing the characteristics of the blocks (color, size, and shape). We also played "Make my Shape".
Learning about Geometry is fun!

Valentine's Day
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Can you believe Valentine's day is only ten days away? This year sure is going fast! Our Valentine's Day party will be Monday, February 14th at 2:00.
We will exchange valentines. There are 24 students in our class (our class list was sent home with your child). Each student will need to bring a box or bag to collect valentines in. These could be made out of shoe boxes, cereal boxes, paper bag, etc. You can help your child decorate them however you want. Also, feel free to send them to school whenever they are finished.
The following students signed up to furnish treats for our party:
Cael Oswald – 1 gallon water
Sydnee Babcock & Isaac Larson – rice krispie bars or cookies
Brayden Bates- cheese and crackers or other nutritious snack
Kierra Birkey- take home treat
Paige Wilson- napkins
Meghan Doan- cups
