News From The Classroom - 1st Grade

With the first weeks of school completed we are off to a wonderful start to a great year of learning in first grade. Students are getting back into the routine learning expectations and new responsibilities. One of the most exciting changes this year for students in K-2 is the additional instructional time in music, art, and physical education. In music, Mrs. Looney is integrating poetry learned in the classroom into the musical classroom, adding a new rhythm and movement. Mr. Baker is teaching new brain gym movements to facilitate learning that we will also use in the classroom to increase time on task. In art, Mrs. McKenzie teaches first graders how to utilize art to increase their comprehension of reading texts. By working together, we can learn from each other and grow more as learners.
