The fight against poverty at TALES

The first graders today talked about how to help people living in poverty.

They came up with solutions such as:
- donating money to charity
- helping people find jobs
- finding places for people to live
- building affordable housing
- asking leaders to create jobs

At the end of the lesson, Ms. C. dropped by and also suggested that you can donate your old clothes to people who need them. What a great idea!

It sounds like the first graders of TALES are going to be great leaders when they grow up.

Mr. Apple is so proud of the first graders for coming up with these great ideas!!!!!

Something interesting I saw in 1st Grade Technology

Today I saw something interesting in First Grade Technology.

Ms. C, the first grade teacher, told Mr. Ledesma that the first graders could use a color printer for their All About Books.

The first graders want the kindergartners and other readers to know the real color of the pictures they print up.

I saw the first graders use Microsoft Office Word to type up letters to their principal asking for a color printer for their class.

Mr. T was very nice and wrote back saying that he would look into getting them a color printer.

I can't wait to find out if the first grade class gets a color printer.

Maybe they could print up a picture of me, Mr. Apple!!!!!
