STUDENT REPORTING

Wow!  It has been busy in first grade.

We worked really hard on HOW TO stories.  We are experts at lots of stuff.  Now we're starting a new unit on ALL ABOUTs.

In Math, we have been adding Tens and Ones with really big numbers.

We enjoy our Superstars of the week and whoever the Class Pets visit.

In January, most of us had fun playing on the snow days at home.  But some of us wanted the groundhog to predict an early spring!  On the playground, the first graders made some cool creations and enjoyed playing on the big hills.  Some days were so cold that we couldn't even go outside!  It has been quite a winter!

It was cool when High Touch High Tech visited first grade! We studied shadows. We learned that you need three things to make a shadow: some light, an object, and a spot for the shadow to go (a surface).


On the 100th day of school (which turned out to be Wednesday, Feb. 9th) we made marshmallow creations!  We were able to touch some animals from the Darien Nature Center.  We learned a lot about the way animals move.  We had lots of fun on Valentines Day.  We shared valentines and celebrated friendships.

Mrs. Mc wants to remind parents that conference week was changed due to the 5 snow days and will be held one week later.
