What's Happening in our Class?!?
The latest and greatest on first grade fun!
During our class meeting we learned about gratitude. We watched Kid President's video about gratitude. Then we created our own list of all the things we are thankful for each day. Check out our list below.

Yesterday we celebrated all of our wonderful writing. We started by thinking about all the things we have learned to do this marking period. Then we identified the way we would want a listener to respond after hearing our story. We created compliments that we can give to friends after hearing the story. We played a kind of musical readers to share our stories. Some students sat in chairs with their stories, while other children danced around the room. When the music stopped the dancing children listened to the story of the writer who was closest to them. Here are some pictures from the fun.
Today the first grade doctors had to help out some patients who wanted to become contractions. We did word surgery and created contractions out of words. Here are some pictures from the fun!
We have started to integrate the chrome books into our classroom. We use them occasionally during centers but once a week we all get on chrome books. Both this week and last week we used the chrome books to research how animals use their body parts to survive. Here are some pictures of us doing our research.
We are really focusing on using evidence (or key details) to support our answers. We learned that when answering a question about the book, we have to go back into the book to find evidence to include in our answer. Below are some examples to show how this looks. This response answers the question. It DOES NOT use evidence from the book to support the answer. This response would be considered incomplete. The reader would need to go back into the text to find a fact to support the response. This response answers the question. It also uses evidence from the book to support the answer. This is our goal for first grade!!
