The Boulder Firefighters came to visit the first grade today. The firefighters reviewed the safe meeting place homework with the classes. They also talked about some important fire safety rules in the event of a fire in your house. The classes were very good listeners!

Learning About Solids and Liquids

In science we have been learning about solids and liquids. One of our focus questions is: What makes solids and liquids different?  We have also been exploring the properties of both. Thank you for your excellent responses to the question we posed in the parent journal. Your responses honed in some important information and also provided some addition learning which was super fun!
