Today we joined with Mr. Heiney’s class to learn about elections!  First graders went to the voting booth to decide if they liked Double Stuff Oreos or Chocolate Chip cookies the best!  We used our senses to look at the cookies, smell them, listen to their crunch, and of course taste each kind of cookie!  Each first grader stepped up to our private voting booth to cast a vote.  After voting, they proudly wore their “I voted” badge!  We tallied the results and found that Eshleman first graders prefer……… Double Stuff Oreos!  It was a close race!  What a fun afternoon!

On Friday our school will celebrate Veterans Day by wearing Red, White, and Blue.  Feel free to dress the kids in these colors if you would like them to help us honor our Veterans!

We had a perfect day for our fall festival on Monday – some of our stations were outside!  Thank you to everyone who donated supplies and to our parents who were able to come in to volunteer!   There will be more opportunities to help in first grade.  If you would like to be a classroom volunteer and haven’t completed your PMSD volunteer packet, please contact our secretary, Mrs. Aument.

Today we took advantage of this beautiful day to learn about number lines out on the playground.  We drew giant number lines on the blacktop and learned how to start on the greatest number and “hop” the smallest number to add!
