There's always one character...middle row, third from Left.
Actually, I have four who will create a real challenge for me this year.

Learning About Plants

In Grade 1A, we just finished up our first science unit about plants: their parts, their life cycles, and how we can classify them. This is heavy stuff for the 6 yr olds, but I'm happy to report that they all passed the test! Here are some fancy little flowers we made from tissue paper and pipe cleaners. I know- I'm a genius.

Now, if I can only get the kids to keep their germs to themselves, we'll be in business. I missed a few school days last week, and I absolutely hate to miss teaching days, but I'm on the mend.
