Here's what we're up to this week!

Hi families!

Writing Workshop this week was fun because we are writing new books. We made a map of our hearts, or our brains, to write down memories of stories that happened to us in our lives. Then, we picked one story and split it into four parts. We recorded the four parts on paper. It was fun!

We made parachutes this week for science, and took them home. We learned new kinds of words, like AIR RESISTANCE. That means that the air pushes the parachute up and the parachute tries to push the air down. It floated slowly down because of the air resistance. We used paper napkins, string, stickers and a paper clip to make the parachutes. Science is fun!

Goodbye, families!

love, 
The First Graders

  1. Dear Clara’s Class,

    I like your post this week. Science seems really cool. How do you think a hot air balloon works?

  2. Hi first graders!
    Thanks for the update. Sounds like you're having a ball, and learning a lot too.
