PICS FROM WEEK ENDING 2-6-2020

What a busy and fun week!

Lots of Show and Shares.

We published stories in heart shaped books.

Sixth Grade came and read aloud to us on 

World National Read Aloud Day.

It was the 100th day of school!

We found Hershey Kisses and had to match 

the number to put them on our 100 grid.

We wrote about what we will have done by 

the time we are 100 years old.

 

We made space stations and wrote about them.

Our work that is displayed in the hallway.

Happy 100th Day of School!

Happy Weekend!

Hi! I’m sending this early in case the predictions for tomorrow are actually right this time haha. We had a great time celebrating the 100th day of school today. We read books, found 100 kisses, wrote stories and even “spent” $100. We also worked on our Family of the Sun books as we learned about asteroids, meteors and comets. We finished Unit Six in Math. We wrote about people we love a sloth and made paper sloths. They are hanging in the hall.

FIRST GRADE NEWS 1-31-20

Hi! What an exciting week! We are a Blue Ribbon School! Of course, I always knew we were but now it’s official. It’s great to work in such a supportive and pro-school community. The kids, school employees, parents, families and town all had a part in making VCS what it is. It’s a great day to be a Viking :).

READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS 

We started using a new reading/phonics program on our Chrome books. It is on our portaportals. It’s called Lalilo. The school login is EANPRC. The students know how to use it incase they want to use it at home. We made snowflake people and then wrote stories about the day we turned into a snowflake. Writing times is one of the kids’ favorite times of day. They are taking lots of risks and getting very creative. It’s fun to watch! We added the rest of the gas giants into our Family of the Sun books. We have written lots of the information in our books, too.

MATH 

We are doing lots with place value. We learned Expanded Form so we’d be able to know what each digit is worth in a number. We worked with dollars, dimes and pennies as they relate to place value. We will add nickels and quarters, soon.

ITEMS OF INTEREST 

● We will be going to the University of Maine Emera Planetarium on Thursday, Feb. 13th. We will        leave school at 9:10 and return at 10:50. No money is needed.

● Friday, Feb. 14th we will be making friendship sundaes to kick off vacation. We will also open our     Valentine’s on this day. I’ve attached a class list and ways you can help with our sundae party.

HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!
