Writers Workshop
Our first graders have been hard at work becoming authors! In Writing Workshop, students created their own How-To Books by teaching readers how to make a favorite food they can cook. They practiced organizing their ideas into clear, sequential steps, using transition words such as first, next, then, and finally. Students also added detailed illustrations and labels to help readers follow along. We are so proud of the creativity, effort, and expertise they shared as they became teachers through their writing!
Math
Our first graders have been learning how to identify and count combinations of coins. Students practiced recognizing the value of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters and used skip-counting strategies to find the total value of a collection of coins. Through hands-on activities, games, and real-world problem-solving, students built confidence in counting money and making connections between math and everyday life. We are proud of their hard work as they continue developing important financial literacy skills!
Transit Museum
We had an exciting visit to the New York Transit Museum! Students explored historic subway cars, learned about the history of transportation in New York City, and discovered how trains and buses help people travel throughout the city. Through interactive exhibits and hands-on learning experiences, students gained a deeper understanding of how communities are connected through public transportation. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring our learning beyond the classroom and create lasting memories together!
End of Unit Showcase
Our first graders proudly presented their end-of-unit showcase, "Me in a Bag." Students selected and shared special objects that represent who they are, including their interests, hobbies, families, cultures, and favorite things. As they presented their bags to classmates and families, students practiced speaking and listening skills while celebrating what makes each person unique. It was wonderful to see the creativity, confidence, and individuality of every student shine through as they shared their stories and learned more about one another.
