The first graders researched a polar animal of their choosing and used what their research to create a diorama depicting their animals habitat as well as writing and informative writing piece detailing 4 facts they learned about their animal.

The first graders worked hard all month documenting acts of kindness that happen in the classroom, at recess and on the bus. What a kind group of kiddos!

We spent most of January learning about Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. We learned about his life as well as the causes and movements he supported and inspired. We talked about how important it is that we do not treat people differently because of the color of their skin. As we transition to the month of February, our conversations have shifted to talking about our classroom community and how we all bring something unique and special to our classroom. The first graders created snowflake sculptures to help us remember that our differences are beautiful and are what make us special, just like our snowflakes.

First Graders used their engineering skills to design, build and improve on their gingerbread house plans. Through trial and error all of the first graders were able to create a gingerbread house that was able to stand on its own! Thank you to families for donating the materials to make our houses possible!

The first graders have worked hard during Math and Reading PALS to earn points to fill their point sheet. Math and Reading PALS work to increase math and reading fluency. They chose to have a Popcorn Party once they filled their point sheet. Great work first grade!

We had so much fun exploring Halloween themed centers, parading downtown and ending the day with a class party. Thank you for all of your help to make this day great!
