Mrs. Page's Grade 1 Class

We are doing a quick study of data collection and graphing.  Our learning goals include: - Doing surveys and recording answers using tally marks (groups of 5) - Representing data in basic graphs (bar graphs and pictographs) - Asking and answering questions about the information in the graphs

Now that our Properties of Materials unit is finishing up, we have decided to create some art out of our found objects.  We are using small pieces of metal, fabric, plastic, wood and more to create interesting art work.  If you have any bits and pieces at home, that you no longer need, please send in by Friday for our project.  Thanks!

Hello everyone and welcome back from March Break!  It's been great to see all the kids and hear about what they did on their week off. Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD). Today, and every day, we reinforce messages of inclusion and acceptance with our students.  It is a message of peace and understanding that we need now, more than ever, in our world.  I stand with you, in condemning acts of hate and fear around the world.

Here are two examples of a good retell, written by students in our class: "First the porcupine needed a hug.  Then he asked a bunny can you hug me and he said with those spikes no!  Next he walked to the bear. And he said no.  Finally the porcupine said you change your mind.  And then a snake came and he said all I needed was a kiss and then the porcupine hugged the snake." "At the beginning the little hen did so much work.  Next the little hen saw seeds to take home and plant them.  After that the little hen grow the seeds.  Then the little hen make the bread.  At the end the little hen said who will help me to eat the bread.  I want to eat the bread said the goose.  I want to eat the bread said the cat.  I want to eat the bread said the dog.  No because I did all of the work.  You didn't help me so I will eat all of the bread she said.  You will not eat the bread." Good work!

Dress up as what you’d like to be when you grow up!  Wednesday, February 27!

We are discussing properties of materials.  Which materials are good to use for building certain objects?  Which materials would be really bad for certain objects?   Check out our huge chart!

We are currently learning how to retell a familiar story.  We have been reading stories in class, acting them out, and writing our own retells.  Here is a poster that helps us remember what we need to include when writing a retell.
