Science:
This month in Science, students learned all about animal habitats and how animals depend on their environment to survive. They explored different habitats and showed their learning by creating habitat dioramas, carefully including animals, plants, and features found in each environment. Students are working on their End of Unit showcases, where they'll be writing a letter to advocate for endangered species.
Math:
In Math, students practiced comparing numbers. They learned how to tell which numbers are greater than, less than, or equal to each other using numbers, pictures, and math symbols. Students are becoming more confident explaining how they know!
Black History Month:
In honor of Black History Month, students researched influential Black leaders and changemakers, learning about their lives, accomplishments, and lasting impact. To deepen their learning, our class was excited to welcome second graders, who visited to share their own Black History Month projects. This special experience gave students the opportunity to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from their peers while building a strong sense of school community and respect for one another.
100th Day of School
First graders had a wonderful time celebrating the 100th Day of School! Students proudly wore their 100th Day shirts, decorated with creative designs showing 100 items. Throughout the day, they participated in fun 100th Day activities that helped them practice counting, problem-solving, and teamwork while celebrating how much they’ve learned in the first 100 days of school.
