Good Times on the Last Daze of First...

Students have been enjoying working on some fun end of the year activities -- not to mention being silly!  Exactly what we should be doing with only 3 1/2 days left of First Grade!  Good Times... Good Friends!

Career Day 2013 - Jobs People Do are Fun to Learn About!

Today was a great learning experience for all of Bear Creek.  Our annual Career Day is filled with many opportunities for students to hear about all the interesting jobs people have in and around our community!  We had 3 excellent visitors to our classroom today!  Many thanks to the Wonderful Working Moms of Aadi, Paul and Parmis for speaking to our class!  The students truly enjoyed your great presentations!

Here are a few pics of the day:

Here's a Chick... There's a Chick... Everywhere's a Chick Chick!

First Grade studies the life cycle of a chicken and had 6 brown chicken eggs warming in an incubator for 21 days.   We finally were delighted when 5 of the eggs hatched!  These 5 very sweet,  fluffy, tan (with stripes!) and black baby chicks made for lots of Science observations, writing, creating, questions, wonderings and just plain fun this past week! Here are a few pictures of life science in action:

 

 

 

Students also used iPads to create either a Pic Collage about chicks OR a PixnTell on chicks.  Here are a few of the PixnTells that are completed:
