Happy Birthday!
There is nothing better than celebrating a birthday with first graders! Thank you, thank you!!
Love Notes for the Homeless
Our community service project continues each month as we write notes of encouragement to go with the seandwiches that ASPAN delivers to our homeless neighbors. This month we wrote our notes on yellow chicks in honor of Spring!
Career Day
Career Day was a great success. We had lots of experts in their fields! After sharing about our jobs with the class we joined the other first graders in the Multi-Purpose Room to learn about even more jobs!
Happy Earth Day!
We had a great day celebrating the Earth on the last day before Spring Break. We sorted our compost pile, painted rocks to mark our garden spot and prepared the garden for planting. Our Garden Parent taught us how to be experts at pulling weeds!

Sowing Seeds
We have started our lettuce seeds indoors so we can plant them in our garden in the courtyard after Spring Break!
Math and Science Night
Our Math and Science Night was great fun! Ms. Hayes had fun math games set up in her classroom and we had science activities set up in our classroom. It was fun to show our parents what we have been learning in both subjects and our parents had fun learning too.
Classroom Store
Our Classroom Store continues to be a big hit. The children made their own good or service and then priced it. They had a regular price and a sale price and the customer could choose which price. We practiced our coin counting skills and enjoyed being entrepreneurs.
Patterns Inside!
We made patterns of all sorts with our math manipulatives in the classroom. They are amazing! Can you guess the patternS? One pattern has a message in it.
Patterns Outside!
We went searching for patterns outside in the courtyard. We realized that PATTERNS ARE EVERYWHERE!
BINGO in the Library
Ms. Blaine helped us test our non-fiction feature knowledge with a fun game of BINGO. Since we were in the library, we did a silent cheer when we got BINGO!
