1st Grade

What are we doing in the library?

In September, we will explore the library space and will be reminded of the rules and expectations. Here are some books that we will be reading together:

• Manners with a Library Book by Amanda Doering Tourville

• Do Not Bring your Dragon to the Library by Julie Gassman

Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15th to October 15th, we are honoring Hispanic Heritage Month with a special author study focused on Yuyi Morales. Students will be reading two of her beautifully written and illustrated books: Dreamers and the Caldecott Honor book Frida. In addition to our reading, students will explore Spanish-speaking countries using PebbleGo to deepen their understanding of Hispanic cultures around the world.

October

This month, our students will be using Code & Go Mice to explore the basics of programming! Through fun, hands-on activities, students will learn important skills like sequencing, problem-solving, and giving step-by-step directions. These early coding experiences help build critical thinking in a playful and engaging way! 

Author visit

On October 6th, Joanna Ho will be visiting Flatirons to talk about her new book, Becoming Boba.
