Oh, what fun! Today our young writers’ got to show off their stuff to all the family, friends and teachers who came to our Author’s Breakfast. We are so proud of them!!! Each 1st grader chose a personal narrative, non-fiction book or opinion piece to read to our guests. I will let the pictures tell the story!
Today was our field trip to Northfield Mountain! After listening to a presentation and seeing slides of animals in the pond, the children went out to the pond themselves to be scientists and collect some animals. The rain did not stop us from having fun and digging deep into the pond water to find all kind of creatures.
After exploring for a while we brought our animals inside to observe them under a microscope.
Then we recorded what we observed.
We even got to have lunch in a yurt! What a fun day!! Special thanks to Pat, Stephanie and Matt who joined us as chaperones.
That’s what I said as I watched a group of students gather together during center time to make a letter and a poster for a fellow classmate who was feeling very sad at recess time. The idea and the product came completely from the students. I just watched. And I was amazed by the genuine kindness they were showing to each other as they put their writing skills into action!
Yesterday we took a trip down to 4th grade to see their Invention Fair. Wow! We were amazed by all the awesome inventions our buddies came up with.
