First Graders are learning Who We Are in our first Unit of Inquiry for the year. Together we are exploring the roles and responsibilities of being a member of our communities. We discuss how and what we can do to be a caring member of society. Together, we explore the importance of rules inside our school, home, and community, and how those rules lead us to care about our peers. Ask your first grader about the community we live in and the roles and responsibilities of the community helpers!

Students drew what their classroom family looks like to them, as well as how they can care about their classroom family.
In math students have been working very hard on number bonds, finding the unknown number, and doubles facts. They collaborate together during center time, where they can practice their skills with manipulatives and receive a more hands on approach.
Students have started their first Unit of Wonders. We discussed essential questions such as "What do friends do together?", "What makes a pet special?" "What children do at school." and "What is it like where we live?". We have read various genres such as fantasty, realistic fiction, and non fiction books. Students have been focusing on characters, retelling a story, and the topic of non fiction books.
