Literary Pumpkin Parade

Our class continued to celebrate literature by dressing as their favorite Book Character last friday for our annual Literary Character Parade! First Grade and Kindergarten join forces to show off their favorite characters and books.
Thank you for sharing with us, we loved hearing about your family's favorites!
We even got to celebrate one of our Principal's favorite books, "Stellaluna"!
Check out our fun day...

Where the Wild Things Are

We want to publicly say thank you to all our parents that attended our first Field Trip! It was so nice to celebrate literature and the great outdoors all in one trip :). We learned some valuable lessons from our dicussions about Max and the weather that day was just perfect!
Take a peek at the fun from our day!

Soil Study

Take a look at the surface of the Earth, what do we find? SOIL! We are collecting soil samples, observing differences in soil, and the parts of soil. Who knew soil could be so much fun!
Use this link to do some investigation at home :).

Mem Fox Thoughts

Science in Motion

Here at the Sunshine Band, we are moving and grooving to the Science Beat! We have been learning how objects move whether by push or pull. Have your Super Scientist find objects around the house to push or pull. You might even be able to accomplish some chores in the process! Below is an online lab for motion. Check out motion! :D.

Mem Fox Magic

As you may have already heard from your First Grader, Mem Fox is magic!
We have already enjoyed so many of her books, Wilfred Gordon, Time for Bed, Possum Magic, and more! We have been predicting, collecting vocabulary, and connecting to the stories from Mem. For each of Mem's books, we have paid close attention to the "attributes". We are learning to make connections through her stories to our own lives and experiences. Ask you student how they "connect" to the books they have at home or in their book-in-a-bag.

Reading in First Grade is "magic"!
