A Peek Into Our Kindergarten & First Grade Learning Adventures

Our classroom has been filled with exciting learning experiences! Students have been building new skills, exploring important concepts, and growing as learners through hands-on activities, meaningful discussions, and teamwork. Here is a look at what we have been learning in Class 103!

Phonics: Building Strong Readers

Kindergarten: Letters and Sounds

Our kindergarten students have been exploring the alphabet by recognizing uppercase and lowercase letters and identifying their corresponding sounds. Through interactive games, songs, and hands-on activities, students are building a strong foundation for reading and writing.

First Grade: Tapping and Blending Sounds

Our first-grade students have been strengthening their decoding skills by tapping out individual sounds in words and blending them together. These strategies help students become more confident and independent readers.

Reading: Exploring Stories and Making Connections

Our friends have been learning about important story elements, focusing on characters and setting. Students are discovering that characters may remain the same while the setting can change throughout a story. They are using illustrations and text details to identify and describe these story elements.

Math: Growing Our Mathematical Thinking

Kindergarten: Counting and Comparing Numbers

Our kindergarten mathematicians have been developing their number sense by counting objects, comparing groups using more, fewer, and equal, and recognizing and writing numbers up to 20. Through hands-on activities and classroom explorations, students are making meaningful connections between numbers and everyday life.

First Grade: Solving Math Story Problems

Our first-grade mathematicians have been exploring different types of math story problems, including joining, taking away, comparing quantities, and finding missing numbers. Students are using connecting cubes, drawings, and equations to solve problems and explain their mathematical thinking.

Project-Based Learning (PBL): Exploring Our Community

Our Class 103 friends have been exploring the community around us!

We are learning about important places in our neighborhood, such as schools, post offices, libraries, parks, and stores, as well as the community helpers who support us every day.

Learning Together, Growing Together!

We are incredibly proud of the growth and progress our Class 103 students continue to demonstrate! Through exploration, collaboration, and meaningful learning experiences, learners are building the skills, confidence, and independence they need to succeed.
