Playing in First Grade



Our first week of first grade has been super fun. We have learned lots of skills this week through play and exploration.  In math, we have been exploring wooden blocks, connecting cubes, pattern blocks and power polygons.  We have learned how to collaborate with friends.


Through play we have learned how to take care of our classroom by cleaning up after ourselves, helping others and taking care of our learning materials.


We have spent plenty of time outside to learn how to work together.  We have learned our friends names, how to talk kindly and how to play fair.
 
Much of this week has been reflecting in a crew circle.  This is where we can talk about how things are going, what we need help with and celebrate our successes.  We are working hard at the classroom routines, school wide expectations, specials (P.E., art, music) routines and playground norms.

Have a great weekend and get outside and PLAY!
