Baby Loves Salsa!

Monday morning, Lighthouse boarded a bus for Ann Arbor to see the salsa band, Baby Loves Salsa!  Ms. Ritter accompanied our class for this exciting adventure.  Just before the show began, the children were encouraged to sing along and dance whenever they felt the music!  It was great to see them up and dancing with HUGE smiles on their faces.  Here are some of the pictures that Ms. Ritter took!

                        

                        

The excitement was a bit much for some of us!

                        

                        

We had so much fun!  The first graders also loved the idea that we spent the day at college!  A BIG thank you goes out to both Ms. Seiklay and Ms. Ritter for helping our class enjoy an amazing experience!

Nico's Special Day

Last week was Nico's 7th birthday!  This was our third 7th birthday in two weeks!  We toasted Nico with giant chocolate chip cookies as he celebrated his special day with all his friends!

Happy birthday, Nico!



A Game, a Sentence and a Dragon

Last week, our class participated in an interactive writing competition.  Each student was given a white board and marker.  They were then told a sentence using common sight words and words from the word wall.  The sentences that they wrote needed to follow the rules of a sentence:

1.  All sentences begin with a capital letter.
2.  All sentences end with punctuation.
3.  All sentences are complete thoughts.

The student with the most correctly written sentences was Kyle!  Congratulations, Kyle!  His prize was to have Rosie, one of our classroom bearded dragons, sit on his shoulder and help him during the next lesson!

Shining Light

This week's Shining Light is our very own Dominique!  Dominique was recognized for her hard work this week.  She also has been a leader when it is time to clean up at the end of the day and get ready to go home.  Great job, Dominique!
