We had a fun week studying the land at the bottom of the globe. We made these adorable penguins to decorate the hallway. An Emperor penguin is about the size of a first grader. We did some measuring to compare the students to this approximate size. Our flag that flew with the Adelie penguins in Antarctica returned to us this week, along with the postcards we sent! We learned about compound words this week, and made some foldables of our own. We also learned how to make contractions. Our math lessons this week involved partner games. The students looked for pictures of 3D shapes in magazines. We acted out the water cycle to understand more about weather. This was a fun imaginative book that the students really enjoyed. We wrote creative stories that we will share later. This book also led us to a STEM activity. We built "marshmallow mansions" and tested their strength during a blizzard (the wind made from a hair dryer). These young engineers had some great designs!

AuthorI am a retired First Grade teacher in Texas. I have two children, two daughters-in-law, a grandson and granddaughter. Our beloved pup, Rocco, went to heaven this year. He was 15 years old. I've been married 37 years. I would love to hear from any former students! Archives
