Our first graders read a fiction book and identified the character traits of the main character. They chose one of the characters from the book to dress up as and tell about the story. The second graders chose a history maker and read various biographies about their famous person. We learned a lot from each other on the day of our wax museum presentation.

Young Authors

Reported By: Riley and Emma- The Writers Fair was on March 20th. It was a sea adventure and our table said we take a bite out of writing. It had a giant shark. We researched and wrote animal books and created another book at home. Everyone could see our books at the fair. The Scholastic Book Fair was in the library. An author who wrote "Good Night Construction Site" came to talk to us. It was a very fun event!

Science

Reported By: Arman- In our class we learn a lot about science. We have been learning about how things balance and move. We made many paper spinner designs and learned how an object rotates around an axis. We saw how air resistance keeps items from falling too fast. We also made spinning tops, wheel and axis systems, and rollercoasters.

Reported By: Ben and Gavin- We had a performance about Kenya, Africa. We made an ABC book with facts about the country. We sang a song about the animals you see there. We also performed a play about Bamusa and the monkeys. We wore cool glasses and safari hats. It was fun performing for our families and visiting the other first grade classrooms.

Class President For The Day

The students learned about many of our presidents. They also brainstormed character traits that make a good leader. They were challenged to write a speech that told of their traits and why they would make a good class president for the day. Our winner wrote a speech that got many votes and a day in Mrs. Partyka's "Oval Office."
