Pics from Week Ending 5-21-21

 Looking at these pictures makes me actually sad school is coming to an end so soon! These kids are the absolute best! We have the best time each day with them. This week we learned all about rivers. We took a walk down to the Penobscot River to observe and do some writing. We found Cry Baby Sour Gum in the Guess Box. Their faces were priceless as they tried it out. We painted and then labeled the parts of a river. We also used how to use Google Docs!! We will be using our new skills to write ocean animal reports. If you haven't been down to the Veazie Riverside Park, it's definitely worth the trip!

Happy Weekend!

 Hi! What a beautiful week it's been! We have really got into learning about rivers. We especially enjoyed our trip to the river and painting rivers. We learned the different parts of a river and why they are important to us. We used our information to write river poetry and label our paintings. We will be starting on oceans Monday for the remainder of the year.

We started learning how to use Google Docs. We can get to our drive, start a new paper or finish an old one, change the font, change text size and color and even insert a picture. It's pretty exciting! We will be adding some more to these skills next week as we begin to use them to write an ocean animal report.

First Grade News 4-14-21

 Hi! What a busy week! We had so much fun finishing up our rainforest unit and celebrating the end of Dragon Masters with DRAGON DAYS! We still have a little math to figure out to see if there is a healthy relative abundance between carnivores and herbivores. We will do that next week. We will also start learning about the Penobscot River as we "travel" down it to the Atlantic Ocean. 

Dragon Days were filled with many activities. We graphed and added dragons. We wrote about dragons. We made gliders, masks, cups, posters and eggs. We found dragons and tattoos in the Guess Box. We ate dragon food. Ask your child their favorite kind of dragon food. We reminisced about our favorite Dragon Master books and characters.
