Catching Up on the Month of March

The Mall-ards have just returned from Spring Break and we are ready to tackle the last nine weeks of First Grade. Meanwhile, here are a few pictures and updates of the last month that will bring us up to date:

 The students wrote books about the planets including an introduction and table of contents.

 They gave group presentations about what they chose to learn about - including the sun and moon.

 They collected eggs during our egg hunt before spring break.

 Moms helped hide the eggs for the children to find. 
It was a a very busy month and will only get busier as the end of the school year quickly approaches.

Spring Has Sprung in Room 104

Today we celebrated Spring with an egg hunt and center activities. After parent volunteers helped hide the eggs on the playground, students were given their curbside posts to wait until the, "Ready, Set, Go" directions were given. After students collected a set number of eggs each, they came back to the classroom to enjoy making some arts and crafts activities. Centers included crafting bunny wind socks, card making, tangram rabbits (the ancient Chinese moving piece puzzle, consisting of 7 geometric shapes), cookie decorating, hard boiled egg decorating, word searches, and Spring book bin reading. It was a festive day in Room 104!
