Happy winter from Class 1c, Its DECEMBER ALREADY!
We hope everyone enjoyed a Wonderful Thanksgiving break! Wow! 1c has come a long way since September. We are learning to code two syllable words. We are becoming better readers because we are carefully blending our words.
We are continuing to learn the value of pennies, nickels, and dimes through games with the whole class, individually and with a partner during workplaces.

After we discussed interesting facts about crabs and sea stars, through poetry 1c began creating their own. We traced, cut and painted crabs and sea stars. After all our sea creatures were ready, we assembled a crab chart which reinforced the concept of counting by 10’s, and also assembled a sea star quilt which reinforced counting by 5’s. We are looking forward to a well deserved thanksgiving break! “IS TODAY THE PIZZA PARTY?” Has been asked almost everyday since it was announced. ” “No, not today!” “Our party is Tuesday, November 25th”
Mrs. Calma
In math 1c is very busy practicing writing number sentences, extending patterns, telling time and tallying.
We all enjoyed making our Turkey Calendar markers for November.
We are very happy to have Mrs. Sawyer join our class as our new Aide.
Ms. Yvonne is working with the kindergarten group while Mrs. Torres is out having her baby!.
We are having a lot of fun in computer lab so far this year. The elementary students come in once a week and have started to learn how to use a computer. The students are excited when they come in and get to play their games based on their grade level. The games they play incorporate every subject they are learning in class, and turns it into a lot of fun. I look forward to having their excited and smiling faces enter the lab each week.
Mr. Miller
Our favorite class activity seems to be our workplaces math center time. Every child is given a chance to choose a math activity to work along with a partner, in a group or individually.
Ms. Calma
In science we learned the parts and function of a plant, and also the basic needs a plant needs to survive.
It is such pleasure to get to know each and every child in 1C!
This week we made new markers for our calendar. Everyone decorated a leaf, an apple or an acorn. In phonics we learned sounds of the letter “S “and how to code suffix-S.
Ms. Calma
This week we have been busy sorting, counting, estimating and graphing all kinds of buttons that we have recorded on our classroom addition chart. Mrs. Calma
Everyone is so excited to be taking home our phonics readers to share with our families. All the readers have a special box to store them in to keep them in one place.
