Habitat Rotations

Our first grade team at CCE did a science rotation where each teacher chose a habitat to teach! We allowed our students to choose the habitat they wanted to learn more about!

Mrs. Hamilton turned her entire classroom into the rainforest! It was awesome and the picture just doesn't do it justice! Ms. Dietz made a jeep to take exploring through the jungle! Mrs. Kelly turned her classroom into cave city and the kids had a blast in the dark! Mrs. Z and Mrs. Picket took the kids on an African Safari! My class was the desert. Mrs. Smith and. Ms. Allen were diving in deep to the ocean!
Our kids had a blast visiting the habitats!

Book clubs

It's book club time!! This year we had some very special guests model a book club meeting for us to observe! Our guests were our principal Mr. Anderson, our vice principal Mrs. Richardson, our literacy coach Mrs. Rudi and our guidance counselor Ms. Gabriel.

They did a fabulous job discussing the books Oliver Button is a Sissy and Amazing Grace.They discussed text to self connections , text to text connections, character feelings and the message they felt the authors were trying to portray beautifully!

After they left our class made a list of what we observed. The kids picked four books they wanted to start book clubs with this week and everyone chose the club they wanted to participate in. We chose The Recess Queen, The Brand New Kid, A Bad Case of Stripes, and The Royal Bee!

Stay tuned to see our first book club meeting next week!!
