WELCOME!

Here's what's happening in first grade: 

 Here's what's happening in first grade:     We are getting ready for the Spring!  We will be exploring the world of insects.  In Science we learn the different body parts of many insects as well as facts about their environment.  We also have a field trip planned to the Butterfly Museum to further explore our insect friends.   We are excited about preparing for Second Grade.  We are setting goals to excel in Reading with a maximum of 60 words per minute. We will continue story mapping and building comprehension skills.  In Language Arts we are learning parts of speech- Noun, Pronouns, Verbs, and Adjectives.  In Math we are continuing with our 2 and 3 digit adding and subtraction as well as learning steps to carry over and borrowing.  We are continuing to write and we will explore writing our own story books as well as publishing them. The First Graders are excited about moving on to the next level- Second Grade!

 

 

 

We are really enjoying our newly purchased computers!  Once again we are using them for the Living Books programs and for learning our phonics and basic math facts as well.  

 

Speakers Wanted!
We are always delighted to have guest speakers visit our first grade classrooms and share their knowledge in their subject area (nurses, mail carriers, doctors, chefs, policemen, pilots, engineers, etc.).

 

Interested in donating to our grade level?  We are always in need of items that we frequently use for cooking activities.  They are: moon cookies (from Fiesta), canned icing (all flavors), red hots, pretzels, and pull apart licorice.
