Have a Great Summer Room 4!!!!!

Hi First Grade Friends-
As we pack up for the summer we want to say how proud of you we are.  You each have worked very hard in first grade.  We know you are ready for second grade.  Enjoy your summer and stop back and say "Hi" to us in the fall.
                                                                                                    Love,
                                                                                                    Mrs. S and Mrs. Z

PS--Remember to read and practice your math a little each day.

Last Day of School Fun

Our first grade friends enjoyed some Minute to Win-It Games as part of our last day of school festivities.  Take a peek below.....

Camp Read-A-Lot Pics

We have spent the last few days at Camp Read-A-Lot

  

We set out to find the perfect camp site.  

After finding the perfect spot (our classroom), our first grade friends set up their tents and began to read by flashlight inside the tents they built.

We had two mystery readers (Mrs. Roos-our principal and Mrs. Oxton-our learning specialist).  They read books to us and we practice the FACE strategies we learned this year.

Spring Fun Activity Day

A special thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this day possible!  Take a peek at a few pics from the day. :)

Watermelon Eating Contest

Collage Portaits

We completed our last art lesson in first grade last week.  Students were asked to tear colored paper to create their faces, lips and noses.  The rest of the features were done using scissors to cut the shapes.  Check out our unique portraits!  Oh, and check out our room during collage creating and after our human vaccuum challenge!  Way to go first graders!

Poetry Sharing with Our 3rd Grade Buddies

On Friday we finished up our Poetry Unit by sharing our List Poems with Mrs. Saufferer's and Mrs. Tornell's 3rd grade class.  Thanks 3rd grade buddies for allowing us to share our poems with you.  You were a respectful aduience and asked lots of great questions.  Thanks V for helping make this a success! Take a look at a few pics from our time in 3rd grade.

Field Trip to the Landscape Arboretum

On Wednesday we were able to attend a Ready, Set, Grow program where we learned about different animal's habitats, plants and insects.  We finished up our trip up with a picnic lunch outside in the sun and a class picture.  If you have a chance to bring your child back, it is a lot of fun to walk around the Arboretum and go on the different hiking trails.  Take a peek at a few of our pics from the day.

Fun in the greenhouse and nature area

We got to see a ladybug up close under the camera
