While we should celebrate and take care of the Earth everyday, we celebrated Earth day on Friday by reading one of my all time favorites, The Lorax, and cleaning up the Stephenson playground and walkways. The first graders truly took the Lorax's words to heart "unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not."
After wrapping up our non-fiction writing unit, we are beginning our opinion writing unit. First graders can be very opinionated :). This unit helps them develop their opinions and plan/write their reasons to support them!
In Junior achievement, Ms. Amy taught the kiddos all about the difference between wants and needs. Although toys and candy might sometimes seem like needs, the first graders did a great job distinguishing the difference :)
On Thursday, we went to the second grade circus showcase! We got to see our second grade friends spin plates and balance feathers all thanks to Run for the Arts!
