We had a great time performing at our winter concert for all of our families. A BIG thank you to Mrs. Agati, Ms. Berger, and Ms. DeMartinis who worked tirelessly to put this event together for us. We hope we were able to put you in the holiday spirit!

Door Decorating!
Pine Glen is holding its first ever winter door decorating contest! First graders began by brainstorming various winter themes for our door. We then looked at some samples to get more ideas. We decided to go with a husky dog and musher theme! We looked up some images of the Alaskan dog sled race the Iditarod, and then got to work creating our scene. First graders worked SO hard as a team to create our snowy husky scene, complete with winter trees, a trail, leashes, and a creative title. Take a look at our finished product below! Whether we win or not, we are really proud of our creativity and finished product!
Persuading our Teachers!
We have some BIG news… first grade has officially persuaded all teachers to let students choose their own lunch seats!! All first grade classes got together and some students were chosen to read their letters aloud. The first grade teachers stood across the room from all of the students on the rug. If teachers heard a very STRONG point and felt persuaded to change their minds, they took a step forward toward the rug. Some examples of great arguments were that they could meet new friends, they could learn to be responsible, it would make them happy (and who doesn’t want happiness?), and they will make non-tempting seat choices. In the end, all of the first grade teachers had made their way across the room.. they were persuaded!! Next, we practiced what it would look like when choosing a seat. We talked about making sure everyone is included and staying in one seat the entire lunch. We are so excited to choose our own seats!!
Winter Wonderland
Thank you to all of our parent volunteers for helping to make Winter Wonderland such a success! Also, thank you to Ms. Pavilcek and Mrs. Hogan from the Burlington Science Center for bringing in some winter animals and snow experiments! We all had such a wonderful morning crafting, decorating, and experimenting, and couldn’t have done it without the extra help!
