A Poem for Mrs. Cote

The first graders wrote a poem for Mrs. Cote today. They brainstormed words and phrases to describe her. We presented her with the surprise this afternoon and she loved it! 

Mrs. Cote

Calm, calm, calm

She's funny

She's always hungry 

because she's in 

the lunch room

She is so nice

She loves math

She likes coffee

She has a great job

Lots of meetings

She's so nice

Sap to Syrup!

We learned about maple sugaring season with our third grade buddies. We learned how to identify maple trees and tell if they are big enough to tap. Miss Joan and Mr. Smith showed us how to tap a tree and explained how to make maple syrup. We even got to taste some syrup on ice cream. Yum!

 

 

The Beach

By Mrs. Cowan's First Grade Class

Seashells like diamonds

Waves like water

It feels relaxing

Hot like the sun

Water tickling your toes

Wush wush goes the waves

Playing ball

Swimming

Fish swimming under water

Poems, Practice and Play!

The first graders are excited to write poems for our new writing unit. They are learning how to see the world with "poets' eyes". They are working on using their five senses, line breaks and descriptive words. 
They practiced for All School Meeting with Mrs. Caron. They will lead the meeting on Tuesday, March 26th. 
We had a great time building different creations at the Cardboard Challenge. The first graders played with their different inventions like rockets, animals, and houses. We are so glad JES invited us to join in their fun tradition. 

How to Draw a Leprechaun

We watched a learn to draw video with our third grade buddies today. Check out these adorable leprechauns the first graders drew. They are all so creative and unique!
