January
After completing the //Describe A Snowman// activity, each 1st Grade student drew a //Winter in 6 Words// picture and wrote a 6-word sentence about it. Mrs. Sedgwick created a Mixbook of our words and our pictures and we are looking forward to actually having a copy in our classroom! media type="custom" key="5376385" 1st Grade created their snowmen for the //Describe A Snowman// activity and Mrs. Sedgwick saved and printed these. 1st Grade then looked at their snowman picture and recorded their description of their snowman using Audacity. Mrs. Sedgwick transcribed the descriptions and posted both the recording and the transcribed description here. 1st Grade then read their partner class' snowman descriptions and recreated their partner's snowmen. ||= **Original Snowman ** ||= **Recreated Snowman ** || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-AF.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-NH.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-RL.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-PL.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-SMM.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-SM.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-WM.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-JP.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-SS.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-HV.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  || media type="file" key="0910Snowman-StM-VW.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||= ||=  ||

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">St. Martin's 1st Grade drew pictures of Christmas and completed Gingerbread Glyphs in Kidpix. The pictures that we drew of Christmas were used to create our Christmas card for the Holiday Card exchange. We have started receiving cards from other schools and are tracking where the cards received are coming from on a map in the Computer Lab and on a Google Map. 1st Grade has also added our voices to the Holiday Traditions VoiceThread and we are enjoying listening to other traditions and looking at other classes' work here on the wiki. media type="googlemap" key="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=114593777238922509006.00047af012f49d54342bc&t=h&ll=38.341656,-94.921875&spn=32.905944,56.25&z=4&output=embed" height="480" width="640" align="center"
