Another fun-filled and educational week in first grade has concluded! Your students learned so much about the areas of the world our families moved from long ago, and the modes of travel people employed long ago. To continue our exploration of the various parts of animals and their habitats, everyone excitedly participated in a “Zoo Trip”, featuring an imaginative tour of our very own school. We continued to practice the use of adjectives to describe nouns through both oral discussion and daily journaling.
