If I Was the President

This digital slideshow customized with Smilebox

We learned lots about presidents this week in first grade. After discussing some our presidents and learning about the requirements to be the president, the boys and girls wrote about what they would do if they were elected president. They typed their writing on Neos and then illustrated themselves in the oval office. Maybe someday we'll see one of them as the president for real.

Johnny Appleseed

In September we talked about Johnny Appleseed. We read some books about his life and watched a short video. Then we brainstormed some facts we had learned. In writing everyone wrote about some of the things they had learned about Johnny. We then made Johnny Appleseeds and put the writing on our art project. They look really nice in our hallway at school. Next time you are at school take a look and read our Johnny Appleseed facts.

Our Visit to CMH

In May our class enjoyed visiting Crawford Memorial Hospital. Brayden's mom was our guide and Mason's mom helped out too. Thanks so much for a great trip! You can read the students' reports about the trip and see a video of our trip on our class website.

If I Was the President

This week we have been studying some of our presidents and discussed what their job is. On Friday the boys and girls wrote about what they would do if they were the president. You might even notice that the presidents in the pictures look remarkably like some first graders we know. Take a look at their ideas of what they would do if they were the president.

Snow Days

We came back to school on Friday of this week after a major snowstorm and three snow days. The boys and girls brainstormed all of the things they did during their snow days. We sorted our ideas by names of things (nouns) and words that told what we did (verbs). The students used this word bank on the SMART Board to write about their snow day activities. Everyone also created a snow picture to display with their writing. We tore white construction paper to make the snow covering the ground and then drew details with our crayons. Finally, they used white paint to show how the snow covered everything. Look for their writing on our website next week.

Christmas Program

We did a fantastic job on our Christmas music program. Everyone wrote a report about the program. Check out our writing at this link:
