We speak for the trees!

After spending two weeks learning about caring for the environment, our class celebrated by joining the Lorax to speak for the trees for as long as we live!

April Shines!

Mystery Reader Fun!

Exploring communication!

First graders were asked by the local toy store to design and develop a cup phone that worked without batteries! We made cup phones to further develop our understanding of sound and how it is created through vibrations. 

 Lio Lionni Author Study

Students have been going on adventures with characters all month. We have been thinking about strategies readers use to understand the books they encounter! Retelling, stoping and thinking about what is happening, acting out the important parts. We have been using Lio Lionni's texts as our backdrop and in our final celebration we discussed how this author illustrator used different artistic techniques in each of his books to make his character adventures even more exciting and powerful. These pictures highlight our class trying some of the techniques on our own!

Have a fantastic vacation!

Love,

Mrs. L

Cup Phones!

Cup Phone Investigation

This THURSDAY, students in 1L will be doing an investigation that challenges us to transmit messages through sound! We have been using light and Morse Code already! It has been a blast! In order to do this, we would love some metal cans. If you have a soup can (really any metal can will do!) or two, please send them in with a hole already punched in the bottom! 

THANK YOU!

Love,

Mrs. L
