Hello! What a busy short week - it seems like all short weeks are! We visited the Bangor Airport on Tuesday. We got to go inside two Blackhawk Helicopters! We also got to see the behind the scenes of an airport, two planes take off, one plane land and lots of airplanes. It was extremely cool!
On Thursday, we celebrated Wellness Day by going to the Old Town YMCA. The first grade got to participate in a spin class, floor hockey game and basketball game. It was lots of fun! Kids definitely went home tired that day!
We finished up our ocean study with the opportunity to research our favorite ocean animal. Kids were given total freedom on how they would present to the class. Some made puppet shows. Others made posters and one even made a pillow! It was great seeing the kids so independent in the entire research process!
Next week we will begin our very last unit...DRAGONS! We actually got a tiny bit started today because we tie-dyed t-shirts that we will stencil a dragon on the front next week. We will be wearing these shirts at field day on our last day together.
If you have any dragons or dragon books, feel free to bring them in anytime during our last days!
