A STEM Designated School
1st Graders
1st grade celebrated "DOT DAY" by creating this Wassily Kandinsky aret inspired tree
Gettin STEMMY!!!!
First Grade took on a STEM challenge to promote team work and communication. We learned all about working together, being open minded and resilient. Cheers were heard throughout the room when we found succeess and hearing students encourage each other was the cherry on top!
1st Grade Mathematicians
We became mathematicians today. In first grade we explored all different math tools and how we could categorize and record data. Our fun and learning added up to SUM great memories!

Happy Summer, First Graders!
Congratulations on an amazing year! I am so proud of all the learning, growing, and hard work you showed in first grade. You became stronger readers, writers, mathematicians, and friends!
As you enjoy your summer adventures, remember to:
Read a little every day
Write about your favorite memories and activities
Spend time outside exploring and playing
Be creative with art, building, and imagination
Help your family and show kindness wherever you go
Most importantly, have fun, stay safe, and make wonderful memories with the people you love.
I can't wait to hear about all your adventures when school starts again. Have a fantastic summer!

March Madness and Buddy Meet Fun
Let the madness begin in first grade! Students worked on ELA and Math skills in a March Madness style challenge. We also got a chance to meet up with our older buddies for a fun Booklet presentation and a "Doodlebug" activity. We would say this day was full of madness, fun, friendship and learning!
Happy St. Patrick's Day
1st graders wrote sequential writings to plan an attempt at trying to catch a leprechaun. After all their hard work, they built the traps and set them on the eve of St. Patrick's Day. We even tried to lure them to the end of the rainbow at our doorway but, unfortunately we didn't trap any leprechauns this season. They did leave us a note, some gold coins, and some special golden chocolates. In the end, it turns out we did get a little luck of our own!
Read Across America
First Grade celebrated Read Across America and Dr. Suess's birthday. We got cozy and read just to learn the joy of reading a great book. Then, we read "Ten Apples Up On Top" and students took on a STEM challenge to design a device to carry apples on their head from one side of the room to the other. At first students thought it would be easy but turns out we also had to use patience and perseverance. So many valuable lessons all wrapped up into one great day.
