End of the Year Fun!!
Our last weeks of first grade flew by swiftly! There were numerous special activities which gave us all an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and great learning of our firsties this year! Check out the pictures below, highlighting a few of these special events!
The first graders enjoyed a yummy lunch in the Kalona Park thanks to the area businesses. The students munched on pork burgers, chips, bananas and vanilla ice cream! Although there were pool facility issues, that did not keep our first graders away from enjoying the warm afternoon. The Kalona Pool helped provide hoses and sprinklers for the students! There was also a 'homemade' slip and slide to be enjoyed!! We hope your little one filled you in on the fun of this day!
We are so thankful to have a great team of staff members who worked together to plan a wonderful field day during our final days at WE! We all had a great time celebrating the end of the school year in our Friendship groups. All students enjoyed lawn games, kickball, wiffle ball and free play on the park equipment. And we wish you could have been there to hear the screams of excitement as first graders discovered the surprise as we returned to school-a two person inflatable obstacle course!

And lastly, thank you to the MANY volunteers who made our "trip to China" possible! Students enjoyed traveling to a museum, eating at a Chinese restaurant, playing some traditional games, ribbon dancing and creating their very own Chinese lanterns.

Western Day at WE!!
The students of Wellman Elementary celebrated their great work in following our 3 PBIS expectations of Being Responsible, Being Respectful and Being Safe by having a 'Western Day'. Students 'moseyed' their way through the day with their cowboy hats and boots. One student from each classroom also had the opportunity to join Mr. Poock for a story from the Old West at his 'campsite'. Lastly, when students hit the 'chuck wagon', they got to sit wherever they pleased!! This was definitely a highlight of the day!!

Field Trip Fun!
Monday was a beautiful day for our first grade field trip! Our firsties enjoyed some great playtime at Sunset Park in Washington and a picnic lunch. We then moved onto Marr Park, with our favorite conservationist, Pam Holz. Small groups of students enjoyed exploring the visitors' center, a scavenger hunt around the pond, and learning more about the life of a seed through a game! It was a wonderful time filled with smiles, learning and exciting discoveries!
