A Need

We've been learning about needs and wants in 1A.  This week we talked a lot about clothing.  We read the story Pelle's New Suit by Elsa Beskow and learned the steps from sheep to clothing.

Mrs. Weiss joined us to help us with a weaving activity.

We've been weaving in our spare time any time we can!  

Mrs. Ekey also came to talk to us.  She showed us some wool right from a sheep, demonstrated how to card the wool, and how to spin it.  We each got a little piece of wool to feel. 

We're so thankful for the nice clothing we have. 

First graders, as we head into the colder months, please remember our fifth grade buddies are hosting a coat drive.  Please bring in any new or gently used and washed coats (children and adult sizes) to give to someone in need by December 9th.  All of the coats will be donated to the Esperanza Center in Fells Point.
