Solar Eclipse
We had a great time learning all about today's solar eclipse. We made models of the earth, sun, and moon and used them to help us describe a solar eclipse in our informational writing. While we watched the live stream we snacked on sun chips and played with space playdoh. What an amazing learning experience!!

Welcome back!
We have had a great first week in 1st grade! I am so excited about all of the fun things we have planned and all we will be learning this year. We have been working hard learning the routines and procedures of our classroom. This is going to be a great year. We're so excited to have your child grow with us!
Don't forget that open house is next Tuesday night from 6-8 pm. I hope to see you all there!

Hello Parents,
In the classroom, we have been exploring Folktales of figures such as Paul Bunyan. Students have been learning to retell stories, including key details to demonstrate their understanding of the lessons of the story. Students are learning to compare and contrast these adventures of characters in stories as well.
Over the break you may consider exploring some Folktales at home. Ask your child to retell the story in their own word. What were some of the details that he or she remember from the story. Have them write their own Folktale or draw one in sets of pictures!
Below is a website where you can find Folktales. Enjoy and have fun! And enjoy your break.

High Museum of Art
We had a great time at the High on Friday! We learned about the Jon Eric Riis' artwork and collaborated to create our own bug pictures, Howard Finster's artwork and created some mosaics in sand, and the elements of art creating our own water color picture.
Thank you Dr. Casey for making this trip happen!! It was so much fun we were all worn out on our way home.
