It was another busy and fun week in first grade! Thank you for taking a peek! 😊

In science last week we started our unit on the sun and shadows! In our first experiment we answered the question, "Could a statue's shadow move?" Ask your child what the answer to this question is to see what they learned! 🌤

In our lesson with Mrs. Tilton last week we celebrated our unique and individual differences!

In our math number corner this month we are learning all about symmetry!

Congratulations to Miles who was our Star Student last week! We loved learning more about Miles from his All About Me poster and from the beautiful pictures and objects that he brought from home! Keep up the awesome work Miles! You are such an important and valued member of our Room 114 family! ❤
