I am creating this blog as a way to share with colleagues and parents some of the fun and educational things we are doing here in first grade! I am not sure how often I will be able to post, but I will try to keep it up to date! Thanks for stopping by!

January Jog
In January here at school, the kids are all abuzz about the January Jog! Our P.E. teachers have created this challenge for each grade level and students are encourages to jog for a specified amount of time with out stopping at the beginning of each P.E. class. It also ties into our character education word of the month: PERSEVERANCE! It seems that every student in this building understands that word and were more excited than usual to head down to the gym. In first grade they have to jog for 7 minutes!! Teachers are encouraged to jog along too! After the first day, if you completed the jog, you are rewarded with a bracelet and your choice of charms from a bucket of about a zillion! I am proud to say that all of room 317 were present today and all persevered to complete their first challenge! here are some pictures of our charms! I'll keep you updated as we earn more charms!
