First Grade Adventures

Anytime we can get out of the classroom, I am all in!  Students have been working so hard to learn all about stories and the story elements.  What better way to celebrate all of this hard work than by going on an adventure.

Students dressed in their best and traveled by light rail into the city.  We decided the adventure could not be experienced on the regular school bus.  First grade students exceeded my expectations by showing all of the Habits of Character while venturing to the city.  The excitement was contagious!

The students loved the big city!  They had so many questions!  We stopped to look at so much, collaborated to cross busy streets and admired the amazing art of the city.

Once we ventured into the big city, students were content with our city picnic as we enjoyed our sack lunch in the performing arts area.

Lastly, we got to see an amazing show of many of Ezra Jack Keats beloved stories (The Snowy Day, Googles, etc)

Students were model audience members.  After reading these stories in class, students were inspired how the stories came to life through theater.

This is a first grade adventure that will not be forgotten!
