Thankful Thursday

Reminder: Enjoy the four day weekend with your little one. We do not have school tomorrow (Friday, January 12 or Monday,  January 15). We look forward to honoring Martin Luther King Jr. on this important holiday.

Questions for the dinner table
What does "opaque" mean? Which solids were described as opaque?
Did you work on a closing sentence in your writing today? If so, which strategy did you use (ask a question, give an opinion, restate a fact)
Ava had 17 marbles. She gave some of them to Sophie. Now Ava has 11 marbles. How many marbles did Ava give Sophie?
____ + 9 = 17 

Notes from the desk of Mrs. McCallister:
We had another fantastic day in first grade! It's amazing to see how much your children are growing emotionally, academically, and socially. Today was filled with discovery, laughter, kindness, and a few fevers...😁

One of the my many joys in teaching is hearing your children read. Their ability to deepen their understanding of text through making connections, retelling, and thinking about the author's message has grown tremendously. Our students are using a multiple strategies to "decode" (read) unknown words. Keep up the hard work, first graders!

Writing nonfiction/teaching books

After learning about endings, this cool kid decided to use a "question for his reader" as his closing sentence.

If you're interested in reading a nonfiction/teaching book about Star Wars, talk with this awesome guy.

Thinking deeply about the authors message
 Exploring the properties of solids in the science lab. We have an amazing science program led by our head scientist, Mrs. Hwande. 




Guess the similar property???




Creating structures with different solids

Could he be a future architect?

That's one empowered kiddo!








Might be our tallest structure
