Last week we did some inactive writing and wrote the following message together: Greetings from our 1st grade class in Winston-Salem, NC!
Our city is in the Piedmont of NC. We live about an hour from Pilot Mountain. It stands about 2,490 feet tall. Our State bird is the cardinal. The dogwood is our State flower.Raleigh, our capital, is where our governor lives. The biggest city in NC is Charlotte.
Carol typed the message onto label paper and we'll have them in the mail this week. We'll be sending them to classrooms in almost every state of the United States and hope to get a response or two in return. It was a great way to introduce our study of North Carolina by looking at the country as a whole. We have already received cards from Iowa and Connecticut! Stay tuned for further updates.
We also learned our first Word Wall Game called...what else...Word Wall Bingo. Each player places a word in each of the nine boxes and someone calls out the words. The first to fill up their board is the winner. Our cursive writing practice continues with our "Rocket Letters." Today we worked on the letter "p" and from the murmurs I heard this one wasn't so easy! They are getting better each time! Keep up the good work everyone!
