1D First Grade

A class of first graders who live in a suburb of Boston, MA and want to share their learning with people around the world!

So proud of these 1D army ants! They ROCKED their taping day for the BUGZ play 🐜 🦋 🐝 🪰

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We are sharing our “name stories” in 1D, an important part of our IDENTITY. This student likes how the initials of his first and middle name sound together!

More Army Ants practice today!

Marching into the BUGZ play... here come the army ants 🐜 🐜 🐜

1D decorated our door to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of @maejemison! Inspiration from “Mae Among the Stars”! #kidart #inspiringleaders

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

1D is finishing up their “Inspiring Leaders” unit. We drew self portraits and thought about the things we want to inspire others to do or believe. #spreadpeace #thinkgreeneveryone #unitedwestanddividedwefall #followyourheart #bekindbeyou are just a few of our inspiring words!

We are starting to learn about the geography of Mexico! 🇲🇽

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We learned that long ago, human beings used drums to communicate. We made up our own drum code and tried to follow Ms. Dodge’s messages.

Just a little Friday reading circle! ❤️📚

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We took a “listening walk” as part of our sound unit yesterday!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We are practicing subtracting multiples of 10!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We are observing crickets today... how do you think crickets are related to sound? Hmmm...

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

Today we talked about high and low pitch!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We are learning how sounds are caused by VIBRATIONS... what an interesting vocabulary word to ask your first grader about!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

Building with 100 cups!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

One hundred year old portraits!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

Happy 100th Day! If we had $100, we’d buy PS5s, houses, LOL dolls, cars that could fly, 4 dogs, stuffed unicorns and more. Ask your first grader what they’d buy with 100 dollars!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We are so excited to be back together at one class! We learned the routines for making math choices today!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We are estimating and building two-digit numbers! Someone in 1-D was spot on with his estimate!

[1D First Grade @1DFirstGrade]

We read “Turkey Trouble” and disguised turkeys to save them from Thanksgiving dinner. We aren’t turkeys, we are cheetahs, ninjas, knights, unicorns, surfers, cool guys, taxi drivers, pizza delivery men, sheep, Superman, police, sharks, aliens, and pigs.
