Spring has Sprung

Well, we are finally here! The long awaited spring break has come and the kids were bustling down the halls as they left today.  

I haven't posted in awhile so here's a few updates on class activities and projects.

During our phonics unit on r controlled vowels, we walked the plank to learn words with -ar..... "Ar" Matey! 

We have had some creative indoor recesses....

Layla made a playdough house we had to share.  We are ready to be outside now and enjoy the playground!

Camp Read-A-Lot was a success and I have had requests for future "camp outs"....

We have learned about the scientific method and completed our class science project.  Here are some pictures that show our eggs in vinegar and water. What a fun time we had hypothesizing, observing, recording and analyzing data. We are a great group of 1st grade scientists! You can check out our completed project at the science fair in April. 

We had a great career week! We discussed future careers, colleges, and worked on our interpersonal team work skills with some new questioning strategies I learned at a Kagan professional development. 

And here is our future....lots of fun careers represented!

Thanks for sharing your firsties with me each day! What an adventure!
