First Grade Program

The First Grade Program always generates a lot of excitement!  The Superheroes were thrilled that they got to dress up like ladies and gentlemen.  I took pictures at the performance in the morning because I knew there would be no opportunities in the evening.  A huge THANK YOU to Mrs. Bardin. 

 I don't know how she does it, but the program is always amazing!

Memories

This week the Superheroes continued to work on completing their Memories in My Pocket Project.  We have been working very hard as you can see.  The results are amazing.  We are so proud of the work we have accomplished!  The fun part has been sharing all our stories from first grade together. 

 Every day we set time aside to look at our blog and write to another friend.  

Pretty soon everyone's bag will be filled with memories!

Mother's Day

We had a fun time planning our secret gifts for moms.  The students did a great job creating a portrait of them with their mom.  Next, we read a book and used it for inspiration for writing.  Each student created a card with a poem describing when they love their mom.  The end results were beautiful.  Hope everyone enjoyed their special gift.  Happy Mother's Day!

First Grade Fiesta Friday

The testing week ended with our bash party!  Thank you parents for supporting us.  The kids (and teachers) had a great time creating products and playing bingo(in Spanish) for prizes!

Planners

The students are getting ready for Student Led Conferences by creating bulletin boards to help teach about the different planners.   The students worked in collaborative groups discussing and planning what should be placed on the bulletin boards.  They used their portfolios and previous work products to guide their decisions.  Final work will be displayed during conferences. 

Memories In My Pocket

The Superheroes were excited to get started on our end of year project.  The students worked together to trace their friends.  Once that part was finished, each student had to create an image of themselves and then design a background.  Next, we will be painting our memory boards.
