Muffins with Mom

On Friday we enjoyed some special time with our moms and grandmas at the PTO sponsored Muffins with Moms. What a great opportunity to socialize and let our moms know how much we appreciate them!

Washing Rocks

Today, the first graders observed different things that happen when you wash rocks. They discovered that some get darker, some show new colors, some bubble and some make the water cloudy. 

Word Study

Today the first graders worked on identifying words that can be made plural by adding -es.

Building Shapes

This week we explored different 2 dimensional shapes as we used straws and twist-ties to build a variety of them. Ask your child to look for shapes in your home. Can they find a square, triangle or rectangle? How about a hexagon, rhombus or trapezoid?

Velveteen Rabbit

Today we had the opportunity to see The Velveteen Rabbit at the Sharron Lynn Wilson Center. Our students were so respectful and well behaved. They really enjoyed the performance!

Using Attribute Blocks

This afternoon we learned more about shapes and their attributes as we played the Attribute Train Game. The object was to add a shape to the train by changing just 1 attribute. It was tricky, but we all got the hang of it!
