We love to dance!  Our September dance is to the classic disco hit, "Car Wash".  Students dancing is a great body break that also fosters teamwork and physical fitness.  Ask your child to teach you the steps!

First graders learned that a prediction is a very good guess.  We predicted what our mystery seeds would grow into today.  Their predictions ranged from sunflowers to evergreen trees to marigolds.

We are so excited to be blogging!  On Friday, the boys and girls photographed their favorite mystery seeds entries in their science notebooks to share online.  The children used our class iPad, which was generously donated by the Baker PTO!


We hope you will leave comments for your child on his/her blog and encourage family members to do the same!

First graders have been learning that every word in English contains a vowel.  Here, students are acting as vowel detectives, finding at least one in every word and marking them with yellow markers.

In the photo above, 1R students react to the book, Arthur Babysits, by Marc Brown!  The book tells the story of Arthur babysitting the "terrible" Tibble Twins.  As a follow-up to the story, we wrote about whether or not we would want to have a twin.  Of course, one of our classmates was able to share what that is really like!  The class did a great job with this activity.

We used jeweler's loupes today to look at our mystery seeds.  It was amazing to see how many details we could observe!



Then, students carefully drew what they saw using colored pencils in their science notebooks.  They also wrote at least one sentence describing their observations.


Our 1R scientists are doing a great job!
