In reading, 1-C has been studying different characters in books. We have been focusing on getting to know our characters by observing both physical and personality traits. To help us, we drew a picture of ourselves and added our very own personality and physical traits. 

Quiz, Quiz, Switch!

1-C was so lucky to learn a new game today!! First, we used index cards to write down an addition or subtraction fact. Then, we danced around to music until the music stopped. Next, we had a find a partner by putting our hands together in the air. We each took turns reading our index card and providing answers to the facts.  Finally, we switched index cards and put our hands on head. Time for round two...  

Author Day! Daniel Kirk

Daniel Kirk came and visited us today! He spoke to us about his many books, including Snow Dude and the Library Mouse series. Before it was time to go, we were even able to sing a special song about writing. 

St. Patricks Day !

On St. Patrick's Day, 1-C was left a mess when the Leprechaun visited our class during lunch. Thankfully, we were able to get our classroom back in order when all of our friends worked together to clean up the mess. 

Author Day!

Today, the first grade was lucky enough to meet with Pat Luttrell the author of Picasso-ville. After listening and learning about her book, 1-C was able to draw their own Picasso inspired artwork. It was a very special day!! A big thank you PTO :)  

Valentine's Day and 100 Day Celebration!

Today 1-C was able to celebrate both Valentine's Day and The 100th Day of School. 

We had a delicious bagel and fruit breakfast to celebrate Valentine's Day. All the children also made special cards for eachother. 

For the 100th Day of school, we received "Smarties" to begin our day. Throughout the day, we built a pyramid with 100 cups, painted 100 dots, and even made special 100 day hats!!

It was a FUN filled day!!!  

Reader's Theater in the First Grade

1-C has been working on their fluency skills. In order to become a fluent reader, the first grade put on plays. We made backgrounds, practiced scripts, and even made puppets. Everyone did a great job!!
