One Smart Cookie


It was cookie week for 1st graders. They read If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, got to bake cookies at school, and did some yummy activities!
On Friday, parents were invited to see a small performance during flag salute by all the delicious looking cookies!

They were pretty cute and did a great job reciting their cookie poem in front of the entire school plus a big group of parents!

During the flag salute, certain first graders were recognized for having passed off all 100 1st grade sight words. We had found a list from the school website the day before school started and tested Dillan on them. He got 100%. He has been tested every week since and for some reason missed 2 and then 1.
Finally last week Mrs Hall sent me an email saying Dillan had passed all 100. There were only about 15 kids from the entire first grade, so Dillan felt pretty special. He was given a dog tag that says "Star Reader" and then later in the day, his teacher gave him a school dog tag plus the chain. He only took it off once to go swimming. He's pretty proud of himself.

Great job Dillan!
