Field Day Fun

Today we had some unexpectedly PERFECT weather for field day!  The kids and teachers had so much fun.  I always love to see the teamwork and student collaboration on this day.  I especially love the students vs. teacher tug-o-war match!  Thank you to all who helped to make Field Day 2017 a great one!

Tide Pool Research

It is great to be back at Fuller Meadow and just in time for our scientific study of tide pool creatures! Last week was our trip to Odiorne State Park, where I know the students had a blast putting their knowledge to work while exploring the rocky shore.

  In class, first graders have been busy becoming experts in the field, while learning all there is to know about local tide pool creatures and their habitat.  We have been collecting our facts in a "Tide Pool Field Guide".  We've also been working together to write informative/explanatory pieces about our favorite tide pool animals.

 We can't wait to share this work, along with many other impressive pieces of first grade work from this year, after the Tide Pool Boogie on Tuesday, 6/13!  We hope to see families for our "Boogie" at 9:00 in the cafeteria, followed by a portfolio share in each first grade classroom.
