Career dress Up, Habitats,Stuffed Animals , and Book-Oh My!

Wow! We have a lot going on today.... The students looked adorable in their career outfits. We had doctors, vets, chefs, sports players, and even a singer. The students discussed their jobs and if they would be producing goods or services.

We are writing our first page of our non-fiction animal books today. The students enjoyed looking at all of their habitats to prepare.

This was our first day of the ABC Countdown. We read books with our stuffed animals this morning.

Careers on Wheels

Today we had some super awesome visitors! Our class was able to see 3 different careers and learn about what they do. We saw a chef, firefighters, and EMT. The students had lots of great questions for our guests.

Shapes

This week we started to learn about shapes. First graders are expected to be able to tell about shapes using important vocabulary words such as sides and vertices. They are also expected to build new shapes using 2-D and 3-D shapes.

We read The Shape of Things and transformed shapes. We read Mouse Shapes  and used shapes to create our own mice. We also synergized to use yarn to form shapes out of yarn. We also used ipads to take pictures of the shapes we found around school.

Thank you for all of your generous food and snack donations. I know Children's Heathcare and the families they serve will appreciate it.
