Student Reporting

It finally feels like Spring!

We have been very, very busy, so we haven’t reported in a long time!

We had our class character celebration and loved seeing all of the story puppets our classmates made!

We learned about the main parts of a plant and loved watching ours grow. Plants need:
water, sunlight, soil, room to grow, and care.

Here’s a poem to help you remember what living things need:

Food, water, shelter, space
Habitat is a beautiful place!

We are learning about another life cycle now. We had a scientist visit from the Bruce Museum and tell us all about butterflies. We can’t wait until our eggs arrive next week!

In math, we learned what a “mirror image” is. This is called symmetry. We practiced with a half of a picture from a magazine. Try it at home. It works best if the picture has a front view instead of a side view.
We had a cleanup day around school on Arbor Day to celebrate Earth Day which happened over vacation.

This week we had a great Book Fair. We also had Barbara McGrath visit. She’s a real author with published books in stores and libraries! We are working hard on our stories.

In reading, we are learning types of poetry. We will soon start writing some of our own poetry.

First Grade is going by super fast.
