Groundhog Glyph Predictions

Our class predicted if the groundhog would or would not see his shadow. We made glyphs to illustrate our predictions and tell about ourselves as well. Boys have black ears and girls have pink. If we have seen a groundhog our groundhog is sitting but if we have never seen one ours is standing. If the student's birthday is in winter their arms are up if it isn't in winter the arms are down. A cloud means the groundhog will not see his shadow and a sun means he will. Next week we will write about our projects and predictions.

If I Was the President

This digital slideshow customized with Smilebox

We learned lots about presidents this week in first grade. After discussing some our presidents and learning about the requirements to be the president, the boys and girls wrote about what they would do if they were elected president. They typed their writing on Neos and then illustrated themselves in the oval office. Maybe someday we'll see one of them as the president for real.

100th Day of School

We had lots of fun celebrating our 100th day of first grade.

President Activities

During Presidents' Day week we learned lots about some of our presidents. On Friday we did several centers pertaining to Presidents' Day. We could make a booklet about the president's job, do a Venn Diagram on the computer on Lincoln and Washington, make an Abraham Lincoln project to go with a writing activity we did, or make a patriotic project with Abraham and Lincoln facts.

Enzymes and Digestion

Mrs. Wiseman visited our class last week to teach us about how enzymes in our body help digest our food. We learned lots about digestion from Mrs. Wiseman.

Valentine Party

This afternoon we had a great time exchanging valentines at our party. We enjoyed way too many yummy snacks and played a fun game. Thanks to our wonderful families who sent treats for our party. We really appreciated all of them!!! Take a peak at our fun.

Valentine Centers

We had lots of fun this morning doing centers based around Valentine's Day. We used Pixie 2 on the computers to write about three things we love and one thing we don't love. Then we added a sticker from Pixie for each thing we wrote about. We drew valentine pictures with crayons and did painted red watercolor over them to make a crayon resist. Graphing valentine heart candy was really fun especially when we got to eat the candy when we finished. Using red stamp pads and our thumbs we made "thumbody" loves you hearts. Making valentine cards for special people was fun. In math we have been talking about line segments and practicing using rulers so we made hearts with line segments on them. Then we colored each area surrounded by the line segments a different color. The boys and girls worked very well and enjoyed all the activities.

Valentine Projects

We were busy today with Valentine activities. Everyone made a valentine holder for our valentines. Then we made Valentine People to hang in our room. The boys and girls are really excited to exchange valentines tomorrow.

If I Was the President

This week we have been studying some of our presidents and discussed what their job is. On Friday the boys and girls wrote about what they would do if they were the president. You might even notice that the presidents in the pictures look remarkably like some first graders we know. Take a look at their ideas of what they would do if they were the president.

100 Animals at the Zoo

On the 100th day of school we read a poem about 100 animals at the zoo. Then we worked in committees with our high school friends to make a poster to represent one of the animals in the poem. When we were finished each group recorded their portion of the poem and now we hope you enjoy our whole poem. Thanks to Katy's mom for recording our work for us.

100th Day with Our Friends from RHS

On Friday morning Mrs. Oxford's senior English class helped us work on a project for our 100th day. We illustrated a poem about 100 animals. The students worked on committees with their high school friends to decide what they needed to put on the poster to illustrate their section of the poem. Then they worked together to finish their page. Unfortunately we didn't get quite finished so we will post again when the class finishes the project but thanks to our RHS friends we got a great start.

The 100th Day of School

On Friday we celebrated our 100th Day of School. We made headbands with 100 dots, necklaces with 100 fruit loops, decorated fish with 100 scales, and read some books about the 100th day of school.

Two Digit Addition

We have been practicing counting money using dimes and pennies. Today we began practicing two digit addition using dimes and pennies. We had a store on our SMART Board today. We picked two things to buy and counted the dimes and pennies needed to buy each thing. We then added the two together to see how much it would cost to buy both items. Practice some two digit addition at home. The boys and girls are really good at it already!
