Snowshoeing 2016

We went snowshoeing on Feb. 22 with Gary Williams.  Though there wasn’t a lot of snow, there was just enough for us to snowshoe.

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a restful break.  It is hard to believe the first semester is winding down.  We have learned so much already!  Though we still have a lot of work to do, it is exciting to see the growth students have made as readers, writers, mathematicians, and thinkers!

Field Trips

October1

A note about field trips.  After our field trip to the Hartje center on October 8, we only have two more field trips for the rest of first grade.  I’m sure it seems like we go on a lot of field trips!  This year, our theater field trip was early.  We will be snowshoeing in the winter and will have another outdoor adventure in the spring.  Thank you to those who volunteered at the apple orchard.

Oakwood Fruit Farm

October1

We had a wonderful time exploring and touring Oakwood Fruit Farm.  The weather was ideal!  Children learned how apples are picked and packaged to be sold.  We also got to taste grapes and look at apple trees.  Students had apple cider donuts and apple cider for snack when we returned!  Pictures coming soon!
