We've had a great day! The children got to pretend that they were doctors and listen to their partner's heart, look in the ears and throat, and take blood pressure. They put on lab coats and got to pretend to be a doctor. Thanks to Dr. Heidi Pratt for coming to share about her job this morning.
Our trip to the post office went well and now Paddington is on his way. We can't wait to hear from the people that he visits first. Ms. Angela that works at the post office took us on a tour and showed us what happens to our mail before it gets to our houses. We had a lot of fun. Thanks Ms. Angela!
Sophie's dad is in the army and he came dressed in his uniform to talk to the children about his job. The children were fascinated and had a lot of questions for him. They learned a lot about the military and some of the special jobs that the men and women in the United States Army do for us each day. Thanks for coming Major Edwards and for your service to our country!
Ms. Tis came to first grade at the end of the day. We learned about her job at OUS and found out that she works a lot with the teachers. She even plans school sessions for them where they have to study and learn new things that will help them in the classrooms. She used to teach first grade and it was her favorite. She read a special book to us called "Wild About Books". Thanks Ms. Tis for sharing with us!
We're published authors and illustrators now!
Our book is about our memories of our first grade year.
We had a great day at the Pink Palace.
Mario's Dad came to present a program to help us prepare for our field trip to the planetarium.
Let's go fly the kites we made in class.
Animals Everywhere
We feel like we have our very own animal kingdom in our classroom. Garrett brought his rabbit named Charlie to stay with us for a few days. Jack brought his turtle and Sophie and her Dad brought button quail eggs for us to watch hatch. We've had a lot of fun learning about animals
