First Grade
First graders will learn the differences between fiction and nonfiction and the parts of a book. They will also use technology to demonstrate and share learning.
This year, students learn about conserving natural resources by recycling, reducing, and reusing. They will use a site called My Garbology to help them understand these concepts. Later, students will use the Little Bird Tales website to demonstrate and share their learning in this unit as well as in other science units this year. At this site, they will use online paint tools to make illustrations for digital storybooks they create. Check out Mrs. Moury's example below.
