Friday before break, we were able to take a visit to Shaper Studios to help make a surfboard for our school Gala.  Students took turns learning the basics of surfing from Mrs. Gartland and then shaping from one of the expert shapers who works at the studio.  They learned about how a board goes from a blank to a shaped board, with artwork, fiberglass and resin.  Students were able to help using planing tools to shape the outer edge of the board.  Then they got to watch the expert use the power sander to shape the top of the board.  Last they lined up to get air hosed so they wouldn’t take home all the foam shavings:)  Who wouldn’t want a board shaped by our First Grade Class??  Keep an eye out for it April 25th!

Students also shared their Science Projects before break.  It was pretty cool to see all that they learned from studying their own body systems.  The food journals were very interesting and students learned that certain foods give you more energy.  The Heart Rate experiment proved how hard your body can work.  Last but not least, I’m pretty sure that students will be washing their hands more often now after seeing the results of the Hand Washing experiment!  Pretty gross!!

Students recently shared their History Projects on the Ancient Civilizations of the Americas.       Their projects were very unique and really showed how passionate students were about this unit of study.  Its pretty amazing to think about how these civilizations were so successful with no machines or modern day tools.  Students learned a lot about the difficulty of making things without these tools.

Sorry for the delay, but we had an awesome St. Patrick’s Day…  We had a visit from a leprechaun, ate Irish food and listened to Irish music, played games and made leprechaun traps.

Our class will begin working on a Class Book that will be published through a company called Student Treasures this week.  Although we have not finished the book yet, we will need your book orders by this Friday.  We have used this company to publish class books for the last 2 years and they are a really nice keepsake.  Each student will create one page of the book.  Below are some examples from past years.

Our book this year will be on this month’s Character Trait: Curiosity.  Students will be writing about what they are curious about.  Imagine looking back at this in 10 years!  Below is the form you should find in your child’s folder.  Please complete both the form and envelope.
