Great Lakes Science Center Field Trip

On Monday, our class went on a field trip to The Great Lakes Science Center.  This field trip was the provocation for our fifth IB Unit Of Inquiry, "How The World Works."  In addition to exploring the museum, we participated in an educational program about the three states of matter (solid, liquid, & gas).  

Thank you to Allison Bayles, Rocio Moran, Lakeya Wilson, Ron Latson, and Marvin Smith for chaperoning our field trip!

100th Day of School

Today we celebrated the 100th day of first grade!

 

The day was a HUGE success!  The 100 item trail mix was delicious!  We had fun guessing the 100 contents of each person's mystery bottle!  The 100 bead necklaces looked great on the students!  Everyone worked collaboratively to build structures using 100 cups!  Roll to 100 was a fun game!  What a great day!

Using 10 each of 10 ingredients (goldfish crackers, skittles, m&ms, gummy bears, chex, pretzels, teddy grahams, chocolate chips, bite sized oreos, and mini marshmallows), each student created a trail mix consisting of 100 items.

 

 

 

We had a very special 100th Day of School snack.  Yum!

 

We had fun trying to figure out what each person in our class put into his/her mystery bottle.  Gumballs, seashells, macaroni noodles, candy, and cereal were some of the items students selected.



 

Each student used 100 beads to make his/her own necklace.  Everyone had fun designing and creating this 100th day jewelry!

In small groups, the students built structures using 100 cups. 

They enjoyed this activity so much, the students contuined to build with cups at choice time.

 

We ended the day by playing Roll to 100.
