Field Trip Reminder: This Thursday, September 11th

Reminder: We will be going to the Tunbridge Fair's Agricultural Day this Thursday, September 11th. We will be going rain-or-shine, so please dress your child appropriately. Boots or sneakers are the preferred shoe. Every child should bring a backpack to carry their things with them for the day, along with a home lunch and water bottle. We will be leaving DBS by 8:30 and returning to school around 1pm.

If you are a volunteer, and have not heard from me, please contact me via email raneyn@hartfordschools.net to discuss the specifics of the day.

OPEN HOUSE: TOMORROW, SEPT 9th

I hope to see you all at Open House tomorrow night, from 6-7pm. 1st grade will host a short presentation from 6:05-6:15. Afterwards, we encourage you to take a look at all of the hard work your child has done these first few weeks of school!

iPads in the Classroom!

Today we used the iPads for the first time this year. The students did a wonderful job working together to use these devices and handled them with care. They worked together to design a video clip that displayed various classroom expectations we wrote last week. We will compile these short video clips together to create a movie about our classroom expectations.

Open House: Next Tuesday, September 9th

Please be sure to join us next Tuesday, September 9th from 6-7pm! Hope to see you there!

Math Word Problems

We've been working on solving math word problems this week. We have been making sure each problem solved includes an equation, a picture and a labeled answer. Today, students were able to create their own word problems and pictures to go along with them. Next week, we will take the time to solve each other's problems and they will be on display for open house!

Science Notebooks

Today we took a look at our school garden. Each student made a claim about what they might see out in the garden. Next, they had to document their observations using their five senses. Finally, they needed to write evidence to support their claims. It was a great first day of science for our class.
