Happy February




Wow!  The snow has put us out of sync for a bit, but happy to be back to blogging about our busy First Graders!  Mr. Groundhog DID NOT see his shadow so the good news is...Spring is on the way.  ( We will keep our fingers crossed!)  We have been busy with our study of water.  We have been viewing and answering questions about water on a map of the U.S. and also viewing pie charts and discussing water percentages across the world.  We have been learning about where water comes from, where it is, and how we can get to it!  We have been working in groups this week and preparing for presentations on rivers, lakes, oceans, and swamps!  We have also been working on subtraction in centers with "snowball" subtraction.  Manipulatives always help with our understanding.

We are enjoying our love letters from home!  Get your valentines in!  We are ready for our ice cream sundae party!

Have a great week!
