Week of November 8 - 12, 2021

First Grade has been observing the changes in nature we see happening around us right now.  The students made hypotheses about why leaves change color, before discovering the reason why.  The students walked around the campus and collected some leaves.  They brought them back inside to make leaf rubbings.  

Ever since, we have been enjoying watching the leaves on the tree right outside our window change from green, to yellowish, to brighter shades of yellow and orange.
















First Grade has been learning about what the word community means and ways to help and make our community a better place.  We have been also discussing ways to bring cheer to others' lives.  Our new service partner is Little Flower Manor, a skilled nursing care facility located in Darby.  First Grade will be connecting with the residents in various ways throughout the year.

We began making Thanksgiving cards to send to the residents.  The class is taking their card making very seriously.  They have written some very heartfelt messages that I am sure will mean a lot  to the recipients.









Reminders!!!!

*Next week - P.E. is Tuesday
*November 23rd - Noon Dismissal
*November 24th - 26th - Thanksgiving Holiday
*December 12th - Family Advent Liturgy
