Writing Reviews

In our new writing unit, students will be writing reviews. Our first step was judging which item in our collection was the best and explaining why. Above you see students lining up their items in order of preference and doing a walk around to look at other collections.

Team Hersom was responsible for the first grade bulletin board this month. Our play on conversation hearts features some of our favorite titles and authors.

Caught Reading!

Has your child been "caught reading?" In an effort to encourage reading engagement, these slips are being handed out to students who are "caught" enjoying their free reading time. Pictures of those students are featured on the tv near the lobby. Below you will find some of these photos.

Small Moment Stories

This week marks the end of our narrative writing unit. Students have been working hard to write small moment stories that include lots of detail. The pictures below show our young authors hard at work writing small moment stories that show off everything they have learned in this unit.

Hello First Grade Families!

The first month of school has flown by. Team Hersom has been very busy learning about plants, writing small moment stories, discussing math problem solving strategies, and reading some favorite authors.

Below you will find pictures from our recent trip to the L.O.C.A.L Garden. Students got a chance to harvest beets and prepare the garden bed for winter. Several worms were found in the process. Back in class the students were given a chance to try beets during snack time. Not surprisingly, the beets received a mixed reaction.
