Mrs.Grahl's 1st grade Blog

Today’s activity is  Enjoy the Fresh Air Day:   Share a picture of your child enjoying the fresh air or do something to show our planet you care! Ex. Make a bird feeder, plant a baby tree, or plant a seed.”  We look forward to seeing all of the pictures of your activity.

Next Week is “Spring break.”  It will be spent at home, but the 1st grade team will not be sharing a daily schedule of work for you at this time.  We will be spending time with our families and hope to work collaboratively to meet the new “distance learning” guidelines with our updated state guidelines.  All families are welcome to use the information we have already provided to continue working with their children at home, or if they so choose, take the week off and relax!

Today was supposed to be our field trip to the Hands On Museum, so we have included a link from the state of Michigan that will allow you to take virtual field trips:

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. I know some parents have mentioned that Mobymax has not been easy to navigate. Some other options for Social Studies activities could be exploring Scholasticnews (our classroom password is grahl1234) or I just added some activities on freckle. https://student.freckle.com/#social-studies/assignments/reading/237758 Our code is grahlx.
