This week we continued with our weather unit. We are becoming expert "Weather Watchers"! We keep track of our daily weather on a chart and research the temperature and forecast.

In First Grade, we learned about the three most common kinds of clouds: Cirrus (high up, white and feathery), Cumulus (low, white and puffy), and Stratus (low, gray blanket with rain or snow) clouds. We completed a cloud project using cotton balls. Keep a look out for them in the hallway!

We played a fun game called "Fly Swatter" where the students competed to SWAT the word on the wall first. I would say a phrase like, "swat the season where the weather is hot" and the first person to swat the correct word would get a point for their team. 


Mrs. Vigna's Class Spotlight:
Kid Quotes of what we learned this week!

"There are different kinds of clouds like Stratus clouds that have rain"
"Stratus and Cumulus clouds. Cumulus are puffy and big."
"Clouds can be puffy or gray and some clouds are long"
"By just looking you can learn what the weather is outside"
**Next week's Class Spotlight is... Mrs. Quigley's class!

We also had an unexpected surprise this morning, Ronald McDonald came to visit our school and teach us the importance of staying active and healthy.

One of Mr. Painter's students was able to be his magician's assistant and we even learned a new dance!
