Chicks, chicks and more chicks
First Graders got to visit with the
newly hatched Kindergarten chicks.
Hope everyone found a way to celebrate
Memorial Day today..
The children got an early Memorial
Day sharing...
On Friday we learned about a special
great-grandfather that fought in World War II.
The children got to see and feel his
Army uniform that was worn in many
countries.
What a wonderful connection also
to our read aloud 'Horrible Harry
Goes to Sea.'
(the students in Miss Mackle's class are
learning about their ancestors and
sharing memorabilia, and
everyone just found out that Ida's
great-great grandmother sailed on
the Titanic - and lived to tell about it.
Miss Mackle decides to take the class
on a riverboat ride) - another tie-in
to our trip on the RiverQuest on Tuesday.
Love the connections these first
graders are making!
