Welcome to First Grade!

Welcome to first grade! I can't wait to meet everyone and have a fun exciting year! 

Children's Museum

It was a long fun day at the Children's Museum! The students got to experiment with magnets, force, motion, and complete different activities,. They loved that they could touch everything and explore!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin seeds!

Here's the inside of the pumpkin before I scooped out the seeds. 

Our final product for our Jack-o-Lantern!

Used a flashlight to light up our Jack-o-lantern. 

The class voted on what they wanted the Jack-o-lanterns
face to look like. We voted and tallied our results. 

Catching up!

It has been a while since I had a chance to post some pictures! Here are a few pictures of the kids working and what we have been doing!

The kids were writing in their science

Bess the Book Bus

Bess the Book Bus came to Woodview! It is a bus that travels around and gives books to students in need. Their goal is to build libraries for families and increase literacy. It was really fun for the students to participate in and get to see! Check out their website: http://bessthebookbus.org/

Girls on the Run

This year the after school program was able to participate in Girls on the Run Greater Houston. The girls practiced twice a week running and participating in self-esteem and motivational lessons on being a well-rounded person. It increased their confidence, how to handle conflict, and ability to be a better person and athlete.

Plants!

The students have learned about living and non-living items in science. They also have learned the characteristics of plants and what plants need to survive. They know that plants need food, water, sunlight, and air.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

The students have been learning about word families and rhyming words. We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2nd by making Cat in the Hat shaped hats with their choice of rhyming words and word families. It was fun!

Snap Cube Building

The kids love using the snap cubes to build different items. 

Graphic Organizers

After going to Dewberry Farm, the children began writing about the field trip. We are learning how to use graphic organizers to put down all their ideas for their topic writing. They will use these graphic organizers to help them write their books during writer's workshop.

Dewberry Farm!

We went on our field trip to Dewberry Farm. The children had so much fun! When we arrived, we went on the tractor ride to see the Christmas trees and pumpkin patch. They even got to pick their own pumpkin! After the ride, we went to see the honey bees and learned that the female bees are the ones that work and the men honey bees are lazy. Interesting! We also went into a dark room where there are hundreds of carved pumpkins lit up. It was amazing. The children got to go feed the goats, see baby chicks, and animals. Once we covered all the basics of Dewberry Farm, the children got to play on some of the activities like the big slide and cow ride.

Pinwheels for Peace

The entire school celebrated the United Nations International Day of Peace by participating in making pinwheels, learning songs, and celebrating together. They had a  great time! The students made pinwheels for peace to talk about the ongoing violence and hate that is in international and local media and headlines.
