Making connections to our read aloud. Butterflies and caterpillars, can you guess what our story was? WestVanSchools #summerlearning2022

What are all those wonderful traits that live inside you? Inspired by “Tomorrow I’ll Be Kind,” students shared many different attributes about themselves. #bestme Westcot School

All things pumpkin today! Creative stories, descriptive writing, silly books and more. But the best of all was pumpkin decorating!! Westcot School

Thinking about the number 10 today! Westcot School grade 1s had so many connections and ideas.

“Peace is going outside, sitting on a chair and watching the birds chirp and sun.” Loved hearing all the Westcot School gr 1’s ideas of peace❤️

After exploring the beautiful traits that live inside us, we are now examining and celebrating our "Outside Me." Students looked closely at their faces, touching and naming all of their features before recreating them out of loose parts. Westcot School

“There are 8 dots under SPLAT because 10 + 9 = 19. So if there 11, that’s one more than 10 so one less than 9 is 8!” Westcot School Steve Wyborney #maththinking

Fridays are for buddy math challenges! Today was a barrier game developing positional + orientation vocabulary and strengthening our spatial language. Westcot School #westvannumeracynetwork

The Gr 1s finished up our personal inquiry by writing “The Story of Me.” We celebrated by sharing and enjoying the stories written by classmates. Westcot School
