Using Fingers to Plan

Room 109 has been studying informational texts and we will soon be immersing ourselves into the writing process. The students were practicing making a plan of what to include related to their topic. They began by thinking of a topic and then counting out the details they would want to include. 

Field Trip Volunteers

If the weather cooperates, room 109 will be going on a field trip to Suson Park on December 2. This will tie into our unit on animal helpers. Parent chaperones would be greatly appreciated! Please contact Ms. Moore if you are available.

Birthday

Somebody looks older today!

Turkey Trot

First grade ran the Turkey Trot Race today. Although the weather was a bit cool we still had a blast!

Two More and Two Less

Room 109 students were using ten frames to show two more and two less. 

Recess Fun

It was a beautiful day for recess today!

Sweet Potatoes

First grade dug up the sweet potatoes during afternoon recess. We found about 30!

Observation Skills

In science, room 109 used our senses to observe objects such as a feather, a bone and a propeller. We looked for features such as color, size, texture, shape and function. 

Notetaking

Room 109 is continuing to practice pulling information from texts by notetaking. Notetaking helps us remember and connect to what we already know. 

Fall Party

Composting

Room 109 has started composting! We learned what types of foods can go in the compost and we studied examples of compost. We collected five pounds of compostable scraps from the cafeteria. It was mostly apple cores. There was also orange and banana peels. We put the scraps in the post bin and covered it with leaves.
