First Day of School

Today was our first day of first grade. We are off to a great year! We played a game Hickety, Pickety, Bumblebee to get to know one another. We decorated paper t-shirts to put on our hall bulletin board. We read some good books about the first day of school.

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.

Planet Earth

During Earth Day week we discussed many ways we could help the Earth. Last week we read some books about Earth and watched a video clip about the Earth. We read The Important book and then used the pattern of writing to write about what is important about our Earth. Then we put it together with an art activity. You can read our stories on our website on the April page by clicking The Earth link. http://www.robinsonschools.com/wes/teachers/1/corn/earth_2009.htm

Busy Bees

Last week our reading story was Busy Buzzy Bee. We learned lots about bees. Local beekeeper, Von Meeks, came to school spoke to the children about how he works with the bees. The boys and girls all wrote a report about the facts they had learned and added it to a project. You can read their work on our class webpage. http://www.robinsonschools.com/wes/teachers/1/corn/bees_2009.htm

Ducks!

Bunny Cinquains

In April we wrote bunny cinquains. After writing the poems, the boys and girls used a new program, Pixie 2, the PTO purchased for our class to illustrate and record their voices. Enjoy their cinquains and thanks WGS PTO for getting us this cool new program!!!

Math Bingo

Matthew's Dad came to school one afternoon and played math bingo with us. We had lots of fun and even practiced our math facts while we played. Thanks so much Mr. Jenkins!!!
