Davis' Detectives is all about apples this week. We are studying the part of an apple, the seasons of the apple tree, taste testing and making a variety of foods with apples. The kids are having a great time. We are graphing in math with a variety of graphs and making tally marks. In reading we are talking about animals in our neighborhood. We are working with words with the short e sound and writing telling sentences. Yes we are busy 1st grades!

Davis' Detectives are having a great time in 1st grade. We have started the new reading book and spelling words. We have learned how to write a complete sentence. In math we have just finished up the addition chapter and moving on to subtracting next week. All this is new to the students and they are absorbing it quickly.
We had a special treat on Thursday from the parents of Carmen Musick (a volunteer at our school). Her father grew a watermelon that weighed over 65 lbs. He shared the watermelon with a 4th grade class and a our first grade class. What a treat!
We are looking forward to Nurse Nikki Collier coming to visit our class on Friday. In studying community helpers we have learned alot about our community.
