Santa Visits!!

I love this school! I love these kids! And I love the special rewards that we are able to earn for our respectful, responsible and safe behavior! We were THRILLED to get a visit from the man in the big red suit this morning. His elves even helped to hand out cookies and hot cocoa for us to enjoy! Before Santa left our classroom, he gifted us a new book, Zero the Hero. Which also helped us to celebrate our 80th day of learning. 80!! Time is flying!

Grandparents Day!

We were lucky to have so many special visitors with us on Wednesday, November 23rd. In our first grade classroom students and their guests worked together to create some festive turkeys!

Visitors were also teamed up and asked to participate in a short engineering challenge. Each team had 15 minutes, 100 toothpicks and 1 cup of candy corn. The team with the tallest freestanding structure when time was called is pictured below!

Many thanks to our special visitors who took time out of their busy schedules to share a fun morning of learning with us!

Day 50 Celebration!

We had such fun celebrating our first 50 days of learning and fun together last week! From estimating and measuring with atomic fire balls to bubble blowing contests is was a day to remember!

 We enjoyed our guest speaker sharing some special mementos from the 50s!

How many bubbles can you blow in 50 seconds?

How many times can you hula hoop in 50 seconds? 

Lookin' good first grade!!

We Love Pam!

Pam Holz, our Washington County conservationist, has long been a favorite in the first grade classrooms at WE! We are always excited to share her enthusiasm and passion for the great outdoors. So far this year, she has been in to extend our science learning about plants! She does an awesome job of getting our young learners moving during their learning!
