Great!

I think this is wonderful! It is so good to see what are children are learning in class, and also, to see how advanced and modern everything has become! Making a virtual blog, is a great idea and I personally appreciate you putting this info on the web for us! Thanks!

We recently finished our study of the rainforest.  The students learned about the layers of the rainforest-forest floor, canopy, understory, and the emergent layer.  They also learned about the different animals that live in each layer.We ended our study by engaging in a problem based learning activity where the students worked in groups to create a rainforest habitat for the North Carolina Zoo.  The students did an excellent job working together to create models of the rainforest.  I would like the students to reflect on their study of the rainforest and post a comment sharing something that they learned about the rainforest! 

WELCOME!

Welcome to our first grade blog.  This blog has been created to share what is happening in our classroom.  It is also a place where students can reflect and respond to what they are learning in the classroom.
