Data Analysis in 1S!

Today in math workshop we started our unit on Data Analysis.  First graders used the Mimio to select their picture and answer the question "Do you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream better?

After everyone had a chance to answer the question, we looked at the data to see what we noticed about the information:

MLK

This week in social studies, first graders have been learning about Martin Luther King, Jr, through videos, books, discussions and projects.  After reading "Martin's Big Words" first graders worked in groups to define newly learned vocabulary, including equality, sharing, friendship, and peace. We wrote about the meaning of the words and illustrated the posters.  

Here are first graders from 1S and K1G working together in groups:

Check out the amazing posters that the first graders created:

Happy New Year!

Today we read a book about New Year's Day.  We talked about what a resolution was and brainstormed our own resolutions and goals for the year. Students wrote about their goal for 2017 and why this goal was important to them.  Ask your child what their New Year's resolution is for 2017!
