What a fun Mountain Day we had here at Leverett School yesterday. All classes headed out to the woods for a hike with their classmates. First and Second Grades walked to Leverett Pond. We had some obstacles to face on the way, like a fallen tree to climb over, which made it even more fun. While we were there, Tracey read us a traditional tale about a beaver and we saw a real beaver dam. We collected signs of Fall to bring back to school to create into art projects during art class. It was a really fun day.
Back in the classroom….. we are learning about Seasons and how sunlight affects the changing patterns we see as the Earth moves from one season to the next. Today the kids broke up into teams to do the “Seasons Challenge”. They had to work together as a team to create a tree that would teach others what happens in each season and what changes we might see.
Our readers are making progress every day! Keep reading with your first grader each night. It makes a big difference in their confidence with the book the next day. And thank you for remembering to return the reading bags to school every day.
Marla continues to help us make beautiful visual journals where we record the important things we do and learn about in first grade.
Remember there is no school on Friday for a Curriculum Day for teachers.
