First Grade Happenings

The girls have had a busy winter! Recently, we have had a lot to celebrate. The girls created masks and paraded for the Chinese New Year, they proudly shared their 100th Day shirts with other classes, and exchanged cards on Valentine's Day. Here are some pictures of the girls in action!

Onto Spring.... ! 

French: 100th day, 100 French words!

Happy 100th day.  In celebration of the 100th day of school, each First-grade class came up with a list of 100 words they know in French.  Take a look at all the words they were able to remember!  Ms. Bradley's class was on such a roll they even came up with an extra 35 words.

Music: Beat and Rhythm Experts!

The first graders have been practicing keeping and notating beat in through body motions, body percussion, and instruments!  They can confidently distinguish between beat and rhythm.  The beat is steady, but the rhythm follows the words!  All first grade girls are bringing home a practice sheet to accompany the song, "Rain Rain, Go Away."  I hope you can find a few moments so that they can show you all they can do!

Here's the practice sheet to look for in your daughter's black folder:
