Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles!

We did an experiment with bubbles to learn about how gases can take different shapes and have no shapes of their own. What fun we had!!!

Funny Friday Photos!!

Long time no talk!! Hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving holiday!! I know I did!! I miss Illinois and the cold weather so much... probably just because I love hats and mittens and such! Anyway, I just wanted to drop a few pictures off from the field trip that we had on Friday. We had a great time!!!

How interesting this was!!

Have no fear... Bryant and Sam are here!

Our little jailbirds!!

Suck and innocent face...

Gobble Gobble...

Well this is quite a week! We're reviewing this week, and just taking a break to catch up on some things... especially those fun things that seem to always get pushed a side due to a lack of time! We are doing a lot of Thanksgiving projects and preparing for our little portion of the program on Thursday. Just a quick reminder... you are free to take your child home with you after the feast! Yesterday we read a great story... "One is Enough for a Feast". It was a Thanksgiving tale about a mouse and his greediness! We learned about being content and talked about how blessed we are by God! AFter that, we made some great Indian hats. Here are a few quick shots of them...

I also wanted to take the time to thank all of the parents who volunteered with setting up, working, and tearing down the Book Fair! It was a great time for the kids! I special thanks goes out to Julie Woods for organizing the even this year. Thank you!! Also, I was again overwhelmed at your generosity by purchasing books for the classroom! We've already enjoyed several, and we are excited to read the rest! Thank you for thinking of 1 G's Busy Bees!!

Buzzing, Busy Day!

Hope you had a great day off yesterday and remembered how great our veteran's are!!

We had a quiet, nice day today in 1st grade! We sure were busy bees with making up all our work from Tuesday and doing Wednesday's too! Hopefully your child's scarecrow made it home in one piece. We made those Monday when we read, "The Lonely Scarecrow". It was a great story about how appearances can be deceiving. Today we talked about solids and liquids in Science. We had to sort a list of objects into the categories solid and liquid. The kids did a great job! During devotion time we talked about the story of the Good Samaratin. We also talked about what Christmas time is all about and giving to those who don't have as much. We're so blessed as a nation to have WAY more than we need or could want... but sometimes at Christmas it's easy to get caught up in the buying wars!

Just a side note... check out this link... it will make you think! Look at the 3rd video from the top.... http://www.adventconspiracy.org/resources/category/videos/
