Hi OLE families and blogging friends- Mrs. Zweber and I have been on a two year journey with 5 other dedicated teachers to create a school of choice for parents.  We are preparing to open our own school inside OLE in a few weeks.  We will have four classrooms with 110 K-3 students.  Here is a link to our new school blog:  impactacademy7.blogspot.com     Feel free to to take a peek as this new journey unfolds.  You can also search Impact Academy on Lakeville Area Public Schools website at www.isd194.k12.mn.us , click on schools, go to Orchard Lake Elementary and scroll down on the right to Impact Academy to gain more information on what IA is.

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!

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!
