Last week we had open house at the school. I love going to open house because the kids are so excited to share with me everything they are doing. I learn more in 10 minutes in their classroom then I do in week at home. Camie was so excited to show me EVERYTHING. We started off with her story she wrote that was posted outside her classroom on a main hallway. Below is the story where she wrote her favorite animal is a bunny but her cousin's dog killed the bunny. It made me laugh that Camie would telling that story that and not think anything of it.
This is a cool experiment showing, in Camie's explanation, how tornado's work. It was pretty cool and she sure loved showing us.
The class is actually growing a frog! Camie's teacher tried this in years past and the tadpole never survived. Her teacher told me that Camie researched tadpoles and came up with a solution as to why their tadpole wasn't growing, it needed light. So, they got a light and shined it directly on the cage and guess what? It worked. The tadpole now has legs. I had no idea Camie was such a scientist.
Camie has had a great year in 1st grade. Her handwriting has become very pretty because she has slowed down and taken time to improve it. She reads like crazy and has finished books like A Series Of Unfortunate Events and The Spiderwick Cronicles. She is zipping through books so fast. She stays up late at night reading and reads the minute she finishes any school work in class. She gets so excited to tell me about the books she reads and she just makes me happy.
