Dinosaur Rocks Assembly

We had a great assembly yesterday (Thank you PTA!) about dinosaur bones and fossils. We got to see how large and small some dinosaurs were and even got to touch a meteorite!
Later on, we got to do an archeological dig for minerals, gems, fossils, and shark teeth.
Watch the video clips of our experience.




Our Trip to Bear Mountain

We had a great time and weather at the Bear Mountain Zoo. It was a great finish to the research we have been doing on woodland animals. We took notes, synthesized the information, and wrote a report that we typed in Keynote. Watch the video to see the woodland animals.


Our Trip to Bear Mountain




We had a great time and weather at the Bear Mountain Zoo. We saw a statue of Walt Whitman.
We also saw the twin bears Pal and Sade (Palisades) who are cinnamon bears. Reaba was there too (bear spelled backwards).
Then we went to the reptile house.























The class had an amazing time at the zoo. Thank you to all the parents that chaperoned and joined us on our trip.

Happy Mother's Day

We honored our mothers in the first grade annual Mother's Day play. Thank you Mrs. Tamburro for filming it (I was backstage). The video file is so big I am going to have to break into smaller segments to load on the web.
