Thorne Head Preserve

Today, our first grade class went on our spring field trip to Thorn Head Preserve right here in Bath. The generous Kennebec Estuary Land Trust organized and conducted the trip. They provided the students with a hike along the preserve where they learned about the life cycles of several animals such as the dragonfly, mallard duck, garter snake and green frog. They also assisted the students in a exploratory project by the pond where students were taught the difference between invertebrates and vertebrates and explored the pond for these animals. The field trip was a great success!

Field Day!

As the school year is coming to a close, we had our annual field day. This year, it was unfortunately raining so we held the events in the gym. All of the students enjoyed this fun-filled day!

Opinion Writing Share

My first grade students have been working very hard over the last few month on opinion writing. They were taught to express their opinion over a large scope of items such as toys, animal, games, movies, restaurants, books and more. They greatly enjoyed this unit and learning how to convince others.

Maine Wildlife Park

This past Thursday, our first grade students were given the wonderful opportunity to learn about our wildlife in the state of Maine at the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray, Maine. We focused on learning how animals prepare for winter. My students loved this fun filled day at the park.
