Chicks!

The excitement of our spring was the study of the life cycle of a chicken.  We hatched chicks.  Students learned how to carefully hold a day old chick.  They were so happy! 

 When the chicks were a day old we took them on a little field trip out on the playground.  It was so fun to watch our fuzzy new friends explore the world around them!

 

Last Monday we had our field trip to the Flynn Theater.  We all enjoyed seeing "Sylvester and the Magic  Pebble"!  Here are a few snapshots of our class as we waited ever so patiently for the show to begin!

 We sat up in the balcony which was pretty exciting!  As you can see, our seats were quite comfy!

 Good buddies, good times!

 We have just wrapped up our first unit of study in writing called, "Launching Writing Workshop".  Students were asked to select one piece of writing from their folders that they would like to share at our Publishing Party.

 Here you will see our friends as they  "fix up" and "fancy up" their selected piece.

 We're fixing up . . . 

 more fixing up . . . 

 still more fixing up . . . 

 Now we're fancying up with beautiful colors!

Here we are at our Publishing Party!

 Students rotated around the classroom and read their published piece to friends.

 After we shared our writing, we enjoyed popcorn and juice.

 You can't have a party without food and drink!!

 I am very proud of our first grade writers!
