Popsicle Day!

 Greetings! Happy Friday! Today was our final Friday of the school year, and it was another great, fun day in first grade! 

Today was our final school Mass of the year. Fr. Brian encouraged us to remember Jesus this summer and go to church regularly. 

Today was Popsicle Day in first grade! We began by learning about the boy who invented popsicles. Then, we sorted statements about popsicles based on whether they were a fact or opinion. After that, we reviewed place value. Students wrote a number on a popsicle, spelled that number, wrote the number in expanded form, and illustrate it. Finally, students wrote about what made this year so cool. 

This afternoon, students created a popsicle. They covered an outline of a popsicle using tissue paper and then added a little sparkle with sequins. 

In Math class today, we reviewed measurement. Students used rulers to measure various summer pictures. They loved this! 

In Science class today, we talked about what keeps a tree in the ground. We learned about the jobs of roots, stems, and leaves. 

Before Art class, we enjoyed a popsicle treat! 

We had our final Art class of the year. Today, we created a beach scene complete with real sand. I don't know what the children enjoyed more: using markers or using sand. 

Here are some pictures from today:

 Have a wonderful weekend!
