We traveled to the Plains Art Museum for our annual clay project. We began our trip with a tour of the museum. The students were entranced as they listed to the presenter speak about each piece.
Students then went to the studio to make their penguin. The timing was perfect as students had recently learned about three-dimensional solids in math. The instructor based all of her instructions on these three-dimensional solids, making it easy for the students to connect their knowledge to the art. I hope you enjoyed seeing these adorable penguins!
We enjoyed learning about holidays around the world by receiving a package from a different country each day in December. In the hustle and bustle of the crafts and snacks, I didn't seem to take as many pictures as normal...oh well, fun was still had by all!
Star Students
We had a great time getting to know William this month. William always has a smile on his face and jokes to tell in 1st grade. He's a great helper in class and to his little brother at home. The students were very excited to see his cool robot he brought for show and tell.
We learned more about Jason in December too! We also celebrated his birthday on Grinch Day and enjoyed some delicious Green cupcakes! Thanks for the party bags, Jason! Jason is a kind and caring fellow and always happy to be in 1st grade.
Another birthday and Star Student for the month of December! Charlie turned 7 over the holiday break but we had to get to know him more before the break! Charlie is kind and caring and quite the athlete. I enjoyed playing "Christmas Party" with him in gym but had a hard time catching him!
