January in First Grade

This month, first graders are exploring non-fiction texts.  Our first informational book was about SNOW!  We learned a LOT of facts.  Did you know that snow AND high winds make a blizzard?  This week, first grade weather watchers are hoping for a snow storm - maybe even a snow day!

December in First Grade

This month, first graders are exploring fairy tales!  We're reading some of the classics - Cinderella, The Gingerbread Man, and The Princess and the Pea.  AND, we are going to read some fractured fairy tales, too.  We'll learn about comparing and contrasting stories, characters, settings, and happily ever afters.  Sometimes, we'll even do a little fairy tale math.  Here's a graph we made about how we'd bite into a gingerbread man cookie.  Which part would you bite?  Our most common bite is the head!  Happy holidays from all of your 1-H friends. xoxo

p.s. Remember to use the tabs above to look for December books and resources you can use at home that will reinforce the learning we are doing here at school!

November in First Grade

This month, we are focusing on kindness and thankfulness.  How can you be kind today?  Who and what are you thankful for?  Important questions for everyone to ask themselves every day - even if they are not in first grade!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are having a lot of fun with pumpkins this month!  Ask your first grader what they are learning about adjectives, alliteration, and more!
