Field Trip Fun!

Happy Friday!  We had a great week in 1st grade, minus a few hurdles such as a sick teacher and snow!  It is definitely getting cold, so please send snow pants, boots and winter gear daily.  The students can store the items in their locker and bring them home on Fridays (or leave them at school if you have an extra set).  Remember, Fargo Public School students will go outside as long as the windshield is -15 degrees or above.

This week we prepared for Thanksgiving with a fun turkey project, which you will see on your child's locker.  We will make another turkey next week while learning about verbs which will be on display in our classroom.

We visited the Plains Art Museum on Thursday, November 19 where students learned about Picasso's art work as well as made their second clay project, the penguin!  The penguins will be brought home with students in about a month.  Your child should have brought home a bright, pink coupon for your entire family to visit the museum again, free of charge!  Enjoy this wonderful opportunity.  I am sure your little artist can share with you what they have learned.  While you wait to see the finished project, check out these great photos below!

In science we have been learning all about sound and vibrations.  We spent a day exploring like scientists with balloons, drums, string, harmonicas, and rubber bands.  The students were challenged to make the objects vibrate which would in turn make sound.  Check out some of our exploring below.

We celebrated another birthday, today!  Happy Birthday Sonja!
