It has been a long time since I have updated everyone on the wonderful things first grade has been doing and learning in our class. We have enjoyed art, reading projects, being scientists, a new math program online, learning about the Holy Spirit and fairytale writing.
I would like to first say, I am extremely proud of how well first grade is reading and their excitement of books. They love books so much, I sometimes have to take them away from them so we can learn other things. They are learning spelling rules and decoding words based on the skills we have learned. They have been working really hard on sight words and choosing good fit books. Way to go, kiddos!
For the month of March, we wrote a fairytale about catching a leprechaun. The students used their imagination to come up with these fun stories. I was impressed by all the details the students included in their stories. We cannot wait to share them with you.
We just finished up our science unit, Solids and Liquids. As a scientist, we investigated different solids and liquids and their properties. We also experimented with adding water to some solids and watching them dissolve into a liquid. Two of our favorite experiments was watching oil and water separate and seeing if toothpaste was a solid or liquid. We played a fun jeopardy game yesterday to review everything we learned over the unit and today we will take our unit test.
Checkout the photos taken by our first grade photographers. Each week, a student is assigned to the job of taking photos of students in action learning.
