2012 Class

Welcome Back!  This year is going to be a GOLD MEDAL performance.  Our class is ready to face the challenges and come out winners! 

Here are photos from our 1st Field Trip of the Year.  We visited the Ellsworth County Historical Museum and learned about things from the Olden Days; including a 1 room school house, a general store and the old caboose.  It was great!

What a great trip for us to compare how life is NOW from life BACK THEN! 

Read Across America Day

What a fun day at EES!  Just wanted to share some photos with you.

Fall Apples and Show and Tell

 Two of our other class projects have involved making homemade applesauce as well as learning about other animals.  The student below is sharing her family pet!

Great Job!!

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. 

Around the World

All year long we have been studying places around the world.  Mr. Reid, our principal, came to talk to us about China.  He visited China several years earlier and we had a chance to see his pictures and learn about the amazing adventure he had visiting a different country.
