100th Day of School

We celebrated the 100th day of first grade by dressing up like 100 year olds!  We also used an iPad app to transform ourselves into 100 year olds!  Check us out!!!

Snakes

The students voted to learn about snakes for our United States unit.  This week we researched snakes through books and online resources.  We learned many new and interesting facts about snakes and created our own snakes for our rainforest environment.  We also documented our learning in our United States notebooks.

Penguins and Polar Bears with Ms. Annie

Ms. Annie visited us today to teach us about penguins and polar bears!  We got to take a "polar bear plunge" by putting one hand in ice water and the other in a layer of fat and blubber to experience how polar bear's fat and blubber keeps them warm in icy water.

Ask your child what they learned about penguins and polar bears!
