Our First 2 Days in First Grade

Here is our first hallway art display this year. It says "A Great New Line Up."

On the 19th we had the first assembly of the year. The rodeo queen and 4 rodeo clowns came to tell us about the rodeo.

Friday was also our first classroom birthday party of the year. Happy Birthday Eileen!

We learned to walk down the middle blue line and where to go for fire and tornado drills.

The best thing of all was learning about our new classmates by doing  a "Find Someone Who" activity.

The New School Year Has Begun!

Students came with their parents to Open House to meet the teacher and unpack supplies before the first day of school.


It was so much fun to meet the families of my new students!


 

 

 

 

Families had a yellow check sheet of tasks to complete for the evening.


 

 

 

 

Families worked together to complete the sheet.
They also worked to unpack and put away the new supplies.


Students couldn't wait to come back the next morning and begin their first grade year.

We reviewed how to walk in the hallway and we learned where our new class fire exits and tornado shelters are located.




We got to learn more about our classmates and found out we have some things in common.

We are now officially First Graders in room 1B, Yipee!

Touring a Wichita Fire Station

After watching the play at Isley we stopped by the fire station where Adeline's dad works. We got to tour the station which has a day room and sleeping quarters for the firemen. We learned that they have to stay there a full 24 hours before their shift is over. We watched Mr. Helten suit up in his gear crawl around and pretend to rescue Lizzy. We also looked at one of their trucks and asked them lots of questions. 

The Caterpillars are Growing!

Here is a picture of the caterpillars taken on Monday.

CYT's production of Tarzan

The students really enjoyed CYT's production of Tarzan. The week before attending the play we had students watch the Disney movie Tarzan upon which the play was based. All of the actors in the CYT plays are children ages 5-18. They produce family friendly musical productions and also offer theater field trips for schools. In the summer they have acting classes, dance classes, and theater camps.
