Daily 5!

We have been learning all about the Daily 5 for reading! The five choices include: read to self, read to someone, word work, listen to reading, and work on writing. So far we have learned and been practicing read to self, read to someone, and word work. Take a look at us doing read to someone today:

It's helpful to point under our words as we read!

We like to get comfy when we read!

Really comfy!

We use a check mark to "Check for Understanding" after we read!

It's also important to look at our partner's book when he or she is reading.

We did a great job reading today!

Butterflies!

Today was a VERY exciting day in first grade! We found out when we arrived at school that one of our butterflies had hatched and was drying it's wings! That left us with two that were close to hatching. Right before math we saw that another one had hatched and we got to watch it dry and harden it's wings and fly away! Take a look!

The Tunbridge Fair!

Here are some picture Miss Lloyd took from the Tunbridge Fair! If you have any that you took from your group we would love to see them! Post them in the comments :) It sure was a fun day!!

Two turtles, a dog, and a flower!

Ducks! We liked the one with the funky hair-do!

Monarchs!

Today we started learning about the butterfly life cycle. We learned that butterflies actually start as eggs and then a caterpillar hatches from the egg. We haven't seen it yet but we learned that the next step is a chrysalis or pupa and, finally a butterfly! We have a whole jar of caterpillars in our classroom that are munching away on milkweeds! One has already started to make a chrysalis and several more are getting ready. We will be observing our caterpillars closely and waiting patiently for them hatch into monarch butterflies!

Welcome to our 2019-2020 First Grade Blog!

We are so excited to share our year in first grade with you! We will post a lot of pictures and tell you all about what we are learning! Sometimes we will write our blog as a class and other times Miss Lloyd will write the posts. Take a look at what we've been up to so far! It's been a fabulous start to the year!
