Conference Sign Up

I can't believe it is time to meet again! We can not wait to share all of our hard work. Please remember the conference sign up is now online! It is easy to create an account and choose the time you would like to meet. If you have questions please feel free to email me and I will assist you! These conferences are also student led. Students will teach you a game, share their data notebook, and then meet me to review their progress report. Please understand that conferences with me are only ten minutes of the time. If you have things to discuss that may take longer, please contact me to set up another conference.

Thank you,
Mrs. Richard

Pebbles, Sand, and Silt Kickoff

Do you enjoy investigating new things? First grade will get the opportunity to learn all about rocks and do some fun tests on them. There are so many different types of rocks and we will learn the differences! Students get to use magnifying glasses and more! To kick off the fun we learned about volcanoes and volcanic rock! First, we used homemade salt clay to form our own volcano. Next, we allowed it to dry over our four day "break". Finally, we used baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring to erupt them. We cannot wait to continue our learning!
