Mrs. Peelman’s Class

 

 

              We have been working on our opinion writing this nine weeks in first grade. We have used the OREO method to help us understand how to write about our opinions and how to give reasons to persuade others to like the same things that we like. We’ve had a fun time writing.

            The first graders in Mrs. Peelman’s class have learned about car, bus, fire, and Internet safety in Health these last few weeks of schools.  Our favorite was learning about fire safety and how to use the Internet safely.

Mrs. Kelly’s Class

        The scientists in Mrs. Kelly’s class have been learning about rocks and their attributes.  They were able to look at rocks in depth using a magnifying glass.  Then, they were then able to apply what they learned by sorting characteristics that described their rocks. The students really enjoyed this hands-on activity.  We really have some SUPER SCIENTISTS in first grade.   

 

  

 

Mrs. Kirkley’s Class
