Welcome to 1st Grade!

September was such an exciting month! We spent time learning our classroom rules and routines as well as the exceptions in the classroom. These first graders are impressive! We already started book clubs and next week we will begin Daily Five! I am so proud of their hard work so far this year! It is going to be a wonderful year! Please take a few minutes to look through the pictures to see some of exciting things going on in 1st Grade!

Our Solar System Unit was so much fun! Each team researched a planet, made a poster and presented their information to the class. I was so impressed with the students' ability to use strong voices while presented as well as be a respectful audience!

 Ms. Williams is joining our class while Mrs. Seymour is home taking care of her sweet baby girl. We are so lucky to have Ms. Williams with us for the rest of the school year!

We love having you in our class Ms. Williams! 

 We had 2 special mystery readers this month. Thank you Mr. Polikoski and Mia for coming in!

Fun in 1st Grade!

What a great few days in 1st grade! On Thursday, we went to the Palace Theater in Albany to see Pete the Cat. The students loved watching Pete the Cat on stage singing and dancing. I was so proud of how respectful the students were during the show.

On Monday we celebrated 120 day in 1st grade with many different activities. The students made hats, pictures using the numbers 1,2 and 0, build a cup tower, played with 120 legos and colored a mystery picture. I can't believe we have been in school for 120 days already. This year is flying by!
