Under the Sea- Ocean Dioramas

The students were asked to study an animal from the ocean.  They did a research page about their animals life style, diet, habitat, enemies, and such.  They then had to design a project to show their animal in its habitat.  This is what some of them designed.

 The students were then asked to share with their classmates all their facts and how they built the project.  They did an AMAZING job sharing!


 After sharing with our class, we then invited the other classes within our school to see and learn about the ocean and its animals.  Thsi student was share facts about the eel.
 This student shared about the walrus!
 The project here was an Orca Whale!
Great Job 1st graders!

Beginning of the Year FUN!

What is IT? 
Can you believe that on the 1st day of school we received a present?  One that would test our patience and one that would make us use our prediction and thinking skills. 
What a fun day!

Can you guess what it was?
Well...
It was a watermelon. 
We weighed, measured, named and then ate our present! 
What an AWESOME treat.
