1st grade fun!

Mrs. Tollefson's first grade class is learning lots of new things. They are working on the engineering process that we are implementing in our bridge building module, along with student testing the strength of a suspension bridge. They are also using marshmallows as their non standard unit of measure. Mrs. Pfantz's class Writing: 1st graders just finished up a unit on Small Moments. First graders learned how to tell small stories step by step and provide details. Students were then allowed to share their stories with their class to showcase his/her book . Reading: First graders have been receiving CONFIDENTIAL letters from the SDA (Secret Detective Agency) to learn how to become word detectives. We've been working hard on learning how to figure out hard words and recently received our SDA badge! Mrs. Reeds Class: First grade students have been working hard learning Eureka Math. Each day the students watch an interactive Zearn math lesson to help learn the new concept of the day. They use their new knowledge to complete problem sets worksheets. They complete them either individually, whole group, or with partners. This is a great way to practice and share their new learning.
