Using their senses to describe an objects PROPERTY

It has been an awesome experience watching them blossom this year, so far. I can't tell you how exciting it is for me, as an educator when these sweet firsties come back to school in January. First of all, THEY GROW...and look so much older. Second of all, they're reading, and writing, and their handwriting has drastically improved. Watching them grow from the beginning of the year, until January is truly WHY I teach 1st grade. I love this time of year!
