A Beautiful Day!

Today we decided to take advantage of the sunshine while it is here! When we finished math early, we went outside for extra recess! Then, we even got to have lunch outside! It was so much fun :)

A Fun Week in First Grade!

We filled our ROCKS jar and celebrated with pajamas and stuffed animal day last Friday!

We had to take a silly one, of course!

At recess we got to cross country ski!

This week is all about reading! We decorated our door after reading Fox in Socks, we have been learning all about Dr. Seuss, and on Wednesday we participated in drop everything and read!

Friday students will wear Pajamas again and are allowed to bring one stuffed animal to school. At 2:30 we will have an all school read in the gym. Happy Reading!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday with a heart greeting and a party in the afternoon! We had so much fun!

"Cheese!"

"I love you to pieces"

Happy <3 Day!!!

It's the doubles baby!

In math, we are learning all about the doubles! Below is our doubles rap. It went home in our folders on Tuesday! We are doing a great job memorizing our doubles!

                                                

It's our doubles rap!

Here we are practicing using our doubles plus one.

This game is called "Last to School" and it's a doubles game!

Miss Moran joins us for math twice a week. Here she is teaching us a new doubles game!

States of Matter!

We are learning about the states of matter in science! So far we have learned about solids and liquids! We have been exploring different materials and using evidence to classify them as solids or liquids. Take a look!

Hmmm...what is this?

WOAH! This is cool!

Exploring...

It moves slowly! 

Hmmm...I can see through it!

Scientists record their findings!

Day TWO!

Cereal...we can smash it up. Solid or liquid?

Aluminum foil sample! It's a solid!

Green water! Addison and Zola learning how to use the basters. 

Miss Jen came to help-we made orange juice!

Green water is a liquid!

Scientist Nathaniel recording his findings.

Zola and Addison are loving science!

Elsa making orange juice! We discovered that the orange rind is a solid and the juice is a liquid.

Merry Christmas!

It's a little late but...Merry Christmas from first grade! We had a blast!!

First, second grade practiced reading Christmas books and then they read them to us!
