Animal Reports

Our first graders are animal experts. Each students was assigned to an ocean animal such as shark, dolphin, whale, sea otter, sea turtle, and two chose frogs. We learned and wrote about each animal's habitat, prey, and characteristics.

Alberto is learning about river otters.


Maia and Kalib diving with the dolphins.







Fractions are a piece of COOKIE!

We were introduced to fractions in math. We put on our learning hat and entered the world of Fractionland. First, we thought of ways to share with one other friend, two other friends and so on. Second, we were introduced to the vocabulary such as whole, half, third, fourth, fifth, etc. The following day we used our fraction knowledge to share our cookie with friends and ourselves and learned how to write fractions. We had so much fun eating and sharing our cookies! Check it out!
