Students in first grade learn about
Families!
During
the first month of school, our
class
has been learning about how families are alike and different. Children
this age learn best when they feel comfortable and safe i their environment
(our classroom).
By
learning about our families, it helps establish a bond and secure feeling.
We have used different types of literature to understand about differences
in families.

Reading is enjoyable for all-
All ages love to have the experience of reading and being
read to. Studies show that no age is too old to have a quality story read
to them. We are reading Uncle Jed's Barbershop this week to learn about
some historical events and how a special family dealt with them. If your
child asks you about the "Depression" or "Segregation" this may be where
it comes from. Please let me know if you have any questions.
SINGING-ACTING-EATING-ART
The children have been learning songs about families, acting out fairy
tales, and eating some of your favorite foods. The lunch room has been
the site of some very interesting conversations about how your kitchens
are run.
At this age, children learn through their play, sharing and talking with
others. This has been a wonderful unit for all!!
