Jacksonville Giants

Today we had a flag raising ceremony and a teachers vs students basketball game to celebrate our Book of the Month, Salt in his Shoes. The book is about Michael Jordan's pursuit of his dream to be an awesome basketball player.
Two players from the Jacksonville Giants showed up and played in the game as well! After the game the players made a stop by our class to get a picture and sign a few autographs! (THANK YOU MR. BILL!!!!!)
What a great day today! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Rainy Day!

Mrs. Hall's thought for the day!

Rain rain go away, come again another day,
We want to go outside and play,
So we can stop inside PA!!!!

On a brighter note...

Thank you so much to all the parents who attended the awards ceremony this am.
I am so proud of all of the students! They have been working very hard! I am happy any day that we get to celebrate their acomplishments!

100th day of school

Thursday February 3,2011
 We have already been in first grade 100 days?? WOW! 80 more to go! Can you believe how fast the year is flying by?
Today we celebrated the 100th day by making snack mix (5 items x 20 of each = 100), making  necklaces from 100 fruit loops, puzzles with 100 pieces, and connect the dots 1-100!
It was a great day! We are all so much smarter and we had so much fun finding different ways to make 100! We also had 4 helpers from Mr. Hamilton's class join the fun! Check out our pics!
