French: Ice Cream

This week the first grade girls have been practicing how to order ice cream in French.  Next week we will pretend to go to Berthillon ice cream shop in Paris where we will buy real ice cream.  Take a peek below at the dialogue they have been practicing.

Art: Imaginary Collections

First graders have been creating accordion books to hold a set of drawings of an imagined collection. They practiced being precise with paper folding and gluing. We examined a variety of collections and discussed what makes a collection. Girls noticed that the items are all different yet fall under the same category. They kept this in mind as they drew imagined collections in their books.
