We're Back to School, Transition Style

Our overarching theme this year will be 

TRANSITIONS. 

Throughout the year we'll be looking at our various topics through this lens with the following guiding questions:

What is transition?
How do things/people transition?
What causes transitions?
When are transitions necessary?
What are the effects of transitions?
What can you learn from transitions?
Is there anything that does not transition?

We've already made lots of transitions these first weeks of first grade!

Being in first grade

Making new friends

Having our own desks instead of cubbies

Using "linger finger" to read picture books

Lots of maps and puzzles

Daily 5 literacy with a box full of good fit books

Asking lots of questions

"All hands on deck!" 


Reading chapter books

Harry Potter

Decorating a box to keep our treasures in

And of course, losing our front teeth!



We're eager and ready to learn about 
the transitions in our world, 
including how and why 
we transition into fall.

A first grader recites 200+ digits of pi!
