On Thursday, February 21, Brodnicki Kindergarten and First Grade students and their families were invited to the Kindergarten and First Grade music performance. The theme? The jungle! Rawrr!

The students were oh, so excited throughout the week, and their enthusiasm showed throughout the day Thursday. When Thursday night came around, they were as confident as ever! Everyone was helping each other, behind the scenes, to tie their neat zebra print head band and get ready for the show! Ms. Riplinger even shared her favorite Easter candy with the students ,as a good luck treat,before they went on stage to perform! What an exciting night!

When it was time for the first graders to take the stage, all of the first graders were little performers and naturals on stage! Ms. Riplinger is proud of each and every one of them! They sang loudly, danced their moves, and smiled as big as their little mouths could! Congratulations and nice job to all of Ms. Riplinger's little musicians!

Early February 2013, Room 117 first graders were full of excitement! It was Brodnicki School's 100th Day of School! All first graders were able to participate in a full day of fun activities: estimating what they could do in 100 seconds, write 100 words, describe what they would look like at 100 years old, color a mystery picture using a 100 chart, and more! We also paired our 100th day with a "Winter Hibernation" celebration in honor of Groundhog Day! All first graders found their area of the room that they wanted to hibernate in with their blanket and snack! Next, they each had the opportunity to see how many books they could read from their own collection and from our classroom library. Our class goal? To read 100 books, of course!Look  below to see how much fun was had on this special day!

Brodnicki School has a math contest for each grade level from January- April. Please remember that the first grade math contest goal is to skip count (orally and written) by 2's, 5's, and 10's. Congratulations to all of the first graders that have already reached this goal! Keep on practicing! Here are a few skip counting You Tube videos that we have used in class to make skip counting fun!

Valentine's Day: Showing how much we care

February is full of special days and celebrations! Valentine's Day was definitely a day full of excitement and fun. We tied in all of our subjects to Valentine's Day, where we: read many books about friendships, wrote notes to our friends, and graphed the amount of Valentine's Day candy hearts we had!

A few days prior to Valentine's Day, Room 117 was able to show our reading buddies in fourth grade how much we care. On our 100th day, we wrote "100 reasons why we love our reading buddies". The students were so very excited to give our LARGE card to our buddies. They were very grateful, and we felt very proud!
