This week I am giving first graders another challenge.  I have heard from some of you that your child is finding a hard time buying into doing school work.  It is my hope that some friendly competition inspires them to get motivated.  The challenge has two parts.  The first part is too find the highest number of pieces of litter and the second part is to come up with why they think a certain type of litter that they find is the most unique.  I am hoping to motivate the kids by giving them some advice on what might be the most interesting when I meet with them one on one.  However, I might only be able to give advice if they have been working hard!

I am giving a new challenge to first graders.  I decided on this topic because I have had many first graders share something new with me individually and I want to give them the chance to share something with the group.  This Friday, I will host a first grade show and tell.  First graders will have one minute to share something that they wish.  Their share could be a collection they have, something they have built, a pet, a song they perfected, something they cooked, etc.  The options are endless!  If your child wants to show something outside that is ok, but I would encourage you to test out your connection.  I am hoping that items will be shared will be done live and not recorded.  I had this idea before I knew third grade was doing something similar.  Have fun!
