In Mrs. Ceaser's Class...
First Grade has been very busy so far this school year. In September, we welcomed four new students to our class and Miss McClain moved from Kindergarten to join us as well.
Each day begins with Miss Laws coming into the classroom to help us with math. So far, we have worked on addition and subtraction fact families through 10 with an emphasis on finding the missing number in a number sentence. We have used lots of counters and snap cubes and have learned to count up to solve problems. Almost every day, we use the iPads to work on ST Math, which is helping us to learn new mathematical concepts.
Much of our day is spent on language arts. We have just completed the first of six reading books that we will cover this year. We know how to read many new words and have worked with word families and short vowel sounds and patterns. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and writing complete sentences have also been studied. We have also worked with Mrs. Bradford and are having lots of fun using iPads to work on myOn Reading, Raz-Kids, and other digital activities.
Our class has also learned about communities, citizenship, jobs, goods and services, and animal and plant life cycles. Did you know that there is a forest in Panama that has trees with square trunks?
First Graders know all about breaking up problems into their smallest parts, so we have an encouraging message for everyone. There is a giant inchworm on the bulletin board in the back our classroom that reminds us daily, “Inch by inch, anything is a cinch!”

El día de los muertos
Students have been learning about the 4,000 year old Aztec holiday known as El día de los muertos- the Day of the Dead. It is a celebration to honor, respect and remember the lives of loved ones who have passed away. It is a way to keep their love, happiness and wonderful personalities alive so others will enjoy them as well. Click here to learn more about El día de los muertos.
