Welcome Woodland Forest Friends to First Grade.
Come and meet our classroom mascot, Brownie the Moose.
We are excited to begin this first grade adventure!

We all dressed up as our favorite Storybook Characters and paraded around the school! Mrs. Shaver, as Mother Goose, led the parade. Afterward we had a fabulous party hosted by our amazing parents! Thank you everyone for the great fun!

We participated in the All Star Fun Run. We collected pledges for each lap we ran and we learned about good character. We learned about the ASCEND philosophy:

A = Appreciate others
S = Service
C = Considerate
E = Encourage others
N = Never Give Up
D = Dependable

Our top runner ran 46 laps!

  MISSING!
Ms. Nelson's Class Gingerbread Boy
Thursday December 1st, our 1st grade classes read "Gingerbread People' stories as we baked our Gingerbread Man. Then we decorated him with frosting and candies! We needed to go off to specials and we were waiting to eat him at snack recess. We were very careful locking the door but he escaped anyway! When we returned we only found a note saying that he "wanted to travel the country". Mrs. MacDonald said she saw him bicycle down the street saying "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!" We have placed missing posters around town. Please contact us if you see him!
We'd really like to have our snack!

As part of our Desert Unit we took a walk in the desert beside our school. Clipboards, notes and iPads in hand we set out to explore the desert. There was a variety of desert plants including very old Saguaros and bright Desert Marigolds. We observed how cacti grow next to bushes so that the bush can protect it when it is small.  We saw birds and bird nests. We took pictures of our observations with the iPads and will create a presentation about what we learned and observed. It was a magical morning!
