Countdown to First Grade E-I

We have had so much fun counting down to First Grade! The students can't quite wrap their brain around the fact that they are going to be First Graders. :)

 

For E we had Extra Recess. The kids loved being outside for the extra couple of minutes! I am so glad that Spring has finally arrived so we could enjoy it.

 

F was visit a First Grade Classroom. Before going the students wrote up questions that they wanted to ask the First Grade students, and we did little interviews. After learning all about First Grade they wrote about what they were excited to do next year, and we worked on writing thank you notes to the classes that let us come in.

 

 

G was the most exciting day for the students! They actually got to chew gum in the classroom!!! At the end of the day we watched a short video about how gum is made and then everyone tried to blow bubbles. Unfortunately Mrs. Cox got the wrong kind of gum for blowing, but quite a few students were able to get theirs to blow! We made a graph of who could and could not blow bubbles with their gum.



I love their looks of concentration as they try to blow
bubbles!

H was Hat Day and almost everyone remembered to bring their hats in. They loved wearing their hats throughout the day. During Math we practiced counting, tallying, and graphing with the different types of hats. We also read Caps for Sale.

Graphing their hats

I was a wonderful treat! We got to eat Ice Cream! We all sat and enjoyed an Ice Cream Sandwich to get ready for our weekend. :)
