First grade is so exciting! They are learning so much. One of the most important things that they just finished was making coins for America’s 250th anniversary. To do that they learned about America's symbols and that is what they put on the coins. Also they just finished their Spring writing. This is where they write about their favorite things in Spring.  But in math they are adding. They are adding two digit numbers by two digit numbers. Also in fundations they are learning vowel teams.

The first graders have been doing an amazing job with all their work! In Math, they're comparing ones and tens with base ten blocks. In social studies, they are learning about what the different types of families do in the USA, for example what families do in California or New York! In writing, they are learning how to add adjectives to their stories, they are becoming great young writers! Finally, in reading, they've been doing lots of themes for Read Across America, like making their own book characters!

1st Graders love learning about the phases of the moon and where stars go during the day! They think that learning about the solar system is very interesting. They're looking forward to writing non-fiction pieces about Turkeys. 

In math the students are learning how to make ten with ten frames. In writing they are writing narratives about what they like to do in the fall. They are also writing personal narratives about what they are thankful for. They are learning how to tell the difference between fiction and non-fiction.
