Today we . . .

Flag carrier - D.

Today we did many fun things!  Here is a quick review of the highlights:

• We had our first assembly of the year - The Flag and Constitution Assembly  It was loaded with activity and learning.  We learned about the flag, constitution of the United States and even got to sing Happy Birthday to the constitution.  We heard from our new superintendent, Dr. Sicoli and BLAZE made an appearance.  We said the Brimhall pledge and sang the Brimhall Rouser!  Ask your child about the special sign language we learned before the assembly that we will use throughout the year.

• After the assembly we had our first Bus Class meeting.  We met with our bus group and a set of teachers.  Each class did the same activities.  Ask your child what they did with his/her bus class. 

• We also had the chance to do a fun retelling activity with Mrs. Biros and our story Asha in the Attic.  We have read this story twice this week.  Ask you child about the story and the retelling activity.

• At the end of the morning we wrote a paragraph in our symbol book about the flag of the United States.  It was hard work, but we managed to get it done, almost.  : ) 

• This afternoon, we played a game of Broken Calculator.  In this game, we had to make a total, like 17, but the 7 key is broken.  It was fun to work with a partner.

BLAZE and Mr. DePrez!
