Let's Make A Pizza!!!!

Boy, we have had pizza on the brain all week!!!!! Students brainstormed adjectives to describe pizza and then wrote a sentence using commas in a series to separate the list of adjectives they used to describe their own pizza. We also read Little Red Hen and Little Red Hen Makes A Pizza and used a Ven diagram to compare and contrast both stories. After our field trip yesterday, students wrote about the different steps you have to follow when making a pizza. They used words like first, next, and last when describing what to do based on their experience at Happy Joe’s. Finally, we read the story titled Pete’s A Pizza and then turned Remington and Brooklyn into pizzas!!!!Lol. The rest of the class were the pizza makers and they kneaded and stretched the dough, added the tomato sauce, sprinkled the flour and cheese, and added the pepperonis. I had the task of carrying the pizzas to the oven to bake! Let me tell you, there were lots of giggles!!

Fact Family Feathers

First grade has been very busy learning about fact families in math. We have learned terms such as related facts and part-part-whole. One of our favorite center games has been roll a fact family using the double dice! This week each student created their own fact family turkey craft and used the feathers to represent part-part-whole.

Pizza and Bowling

First grade had a great field trip today at Lee’s Lanes and Happy Joe’s in Geneseo. The kids had a blast bowling and there were even a few spares and strikes. Everyone did a great job listening and following directions when making theirs pizzas. We ended the afternoon with an ice cream treat and each student received an official Junior Pizza Artist certificate.

Happy Halloween

What a fun day!!! We were busy playing games, investigating pumpkins, making pumpkin necklaces and having spider and eyeball races! Thanks to all of the parents that donated supplies and treats for our party.

Writing A Letter

Last week first grade learned about the parts of a letter. Each student wrote a thank you letter to someone important to them. They did a great job and were excited to deliver their thank you notes.
