Art with Ms. Jenni 

Today we learned about embroidery! Students learned to thread a needle and create a design using yarn and beads. Ms. Jenni taught us about different types of fabric and where they come from. 

 

Beautiful Spring Weather

Today we enjoyed playing outside together! Here are some pictures from recess. We LOVE our school!!

Waterville Surgery Center 

We finished up our study on the apostrophe today, and created some new contractions. The first and second graders LOVED pretending to be surgeons and operating on words. 

We spent time reading and noticing punctuation in our books. We used punctuation clues to read our books the way the author wanted us to! Our punctuation inquiry was a  big success, and the first and second graders have shown incredible growth!

Today we worked with the apostrophe! Students pretended to be surgeons and operated on words to turn them into contractions. Today we worked on:

I am...... I'm

I will... I'll

March Craftivity

This week, we worked on drawing shamrocks to get ready for St. Patrick's Day! Students created lots of different sized shamrocks to decorate our bulletin board. 

Readers' Workshop

In reading, we are working on becoming Super Smart about our World! Students are learning strategies to read nonfiction books. We are also reviewing readers' workshop expectations and set some goals to help improve our reading stamina. We have a cool new Book Worm Award for those readers who set high but achievable goals, and persist in meeting them! 

First Grade Math

In math, we finished up our unit of study on addition and subtraction strategies and had fun learning about equations with three addends! 

Fundations

In spelling, we are wrapping up our work with am, an and all. On Thursday, we played a fun game called Roll and Write to help us learn our new trick words!

Writing dictated sentences has been a goal for us. We are working on proper use of capital letters, spacing and use of punctuation. 

Punctuation Inquiry

After February break we began a short inquiry into punctuation. We are learning about what each punctuation mark means, and have worked hard to write different examples. Each child is creating a amazing Punctuation Mentor Text to keep in their writing folder. 

Friday Outdoor Fun!

We had such a fun time today! So much persistence, kindness and of course FUN in the SUN...although we were missing some of our friends today.
