Hiking Mt. Philo

This past Tuesday our first grade classes hiked Mt. Philo! Very sadly I had a stomach bug and was at home but a few parents sent photos to me. It sounds like the weather cleared up in time and everyone had a great day!

Burnham Library Trip

Today our class walked to the Burnham Library to learn about some of the important community helpers (and a wonderful place) in our community!

Todd Parr Portraits

This week we read a couple of books written by Todd Parr. He makes his people with wild color blocked colors and we decided to make self portraits in this style! They are hung up in our room so you can see them next time you are here.

Hopes and Dreams

This week our class continued learning and practicing our routines and we talked a lot about our school rules. We then discussed how following the school rules helps all of our classmates to achieve their hopes and dreams (goals) for the year. Students each chose one goal that they have for the year and we took photos to put in a class book. Our hopes and dreams included getting better at math, reading, soccer, basketball, drawing, using the monkey bars, learning classmates' names, tying shoes, learning about animals, running, learning new vocabulary words, and learning to play board games.
