Cancellation of Field Trip

The field trip Wednesday evening to The St. Michael's Observatory has been cancelled due to snow.  The dome of the observatory has too much snow on it and there isn't a path to walk out to the observatory.  Sorry for the short notice!

The Night Sky/Moon

Last Friday the students painted with gray paint and a little bit of sand to make "Moon Paper".  This Friday students will do a technique called "spatter painting" to represent the night sky.  This will be a beautiful piece once we put it all together.

Reminder~ CANCELLED DUE TO SNOW!!!The St. Michael's Observatory will be open to our class this Wednesday, February 16th from 6:30-6:45 for night sky viewing.  We hope it is not cloudy so that we can see the moon. :)

 Our "Night Sky" paintings are hanging in the hallway - they are so beautiful I had to take a picture of them!

100th Day of First Grade

Tuesday, February 8th is the 100th day of school.  A letter was sent home last Friday saying a project is not assigned, but is optional.  I know some students were collecting 100 items for this day and I want to celebrate their efforts.  We will do many 100th day activities throughout the day for your child to enjoy!
