A day in the life of first grade!

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

We got to see the results of a class vote today by taking a lap outside in the sunshine! We discussed voting, elections, and campaigning so our first graders understand the importance of our day off tomorrow! #FHESFamily #FHESIlluminates

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

We learned about the Jewish High Holy Days of #RoshHashana and #YomKippur, and got a sneak peak into an #FHESfamily sukkah for #Sukkot! We love hearing about friends sharing their traditions outside of school, as well! #FHESCelebratesDiversity #FHESilluminates

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

Thanks to so many members of the #FHESfamily for sharing about your #HispanicHeritage with us! We are loving putting a #SpotlightonDiversity -- please keep sending those pics and videos! :) #FHESCelebratesDiversity #FHESIlluminates

We got lucky the weather let up to let us learn in the courtyard with @MrsRosaOutdoors ! We learned about what tree slices can teach us and observed the many colors happening outside this time of year! #FHESfamily #FHESIlluminates #Get2Green

Check out these sweet notes for our incredible custodians! (My tweets are late but the notes were not 😅) #CustodianAppreciation #FHESfamily #AttitudeofGratitude #FHESIlluminates

Grateful to be surrounded by incredible teachers and staff members for thought partners as we continue our journey with culturally responsive education! #FHESIlluminates @FCPSEquity #FHESFamily

We're looking forward to highlighting more of our #FHESfamily celebrating your holidays -- please keep sending them! :)

We learned about the 9-night Hindu festival #Navaratri, and even got an inside peek at the beautiful traditional clothing and celebrations of our #FHESFamily! #FHESCelebratesDiversity

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

We have been celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth! We've been learning from our #FHESfamily about what makes them proud of their Hispanic heritage from around the world! #FHESCelebratesDiversity

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

I'm behind on tweets, but we have been so lucky to start our year off strong learning from friends about their holidays & celebrations! We learned about the Moon Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival) & the customs that go with it last month! #FHESCelebratesDiversity #FHESfamily

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

We collaborated with partners in an open sort of various birds, noticing similarities and differences between each. #FHESFamily #FHESIlluminates

@EmPres_IC @FlintHillES I think "Shiela" is my favorite -- or "Fluffly."😍

These are just some of the ideas we had for ways we can be "Bucket Fillers" in our classroom. We talked about how acts of kindness are always ways to fill our buckets, and brainstormed ways to fill buckets at home, too! #BucketFillers #HowFullisYourBucket #FHESfamily

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

Today our new first graders explored some of the math manipulatives we will be using this year! I love seeing how creative they can be with such simple materials! #FHESfamily

#tipfortoday After the first day of school today, parents are eager to learn how the first day went for their students. Here are some alternative questions, instead of “how was your day?”, that can be used to start the conversation #Firstdayfairfax @fcpsnews

[Ms. Radin's First Grade @MsRadin1st]

Overheard in first grade:

Mystery Reader: You guys excited it’s Friday afternoon?
First graders: ehhh..
1 speaking up: Yeah, not really because I love school and we don’t get to go on weekends.

My heart: *puddle on the floor* 🥰😍💜
