Mrs. Shaffer's 1st Grade
April 19, 2024
A Note from Mrs. Shaffer
With all the rain this week, we have spent several recesses inside. Hopefully next week we have sunny weather, especially for our field trip on Monday. I sent an email with more information about our field trip on Monday. Please let me know if you have any questions. We have had several exciting activities in science this week. Our painted lady butterflies hatched, and the students are enjoying watching them drink sugar water. We have even been able to see their proboscises as they are drinking! We are learning about sound in science. Today we used tuning forks to hear and feel vibrations. We also used the vibrations to move ping pong balls. In math we are continuing to work on place value and adding and subtracting tens. Next week we will write a personal narrative about our field trip and about a paper airplane flying activity. We will not have a spelling test until next Friday. We will continue to work on words for 2 weeks before we move on to the next set of words. Have a great weekend!
