2016-2017 School Year

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year!  We are excited for another great year in first grade!

Chromebooks

Today we used the Chromebooks to respond to the question, "What will you do this weekend?"  The students enjoyed reading responses and replying to classmates. 

Fish and Wildlife

MASH students in the Fish and Wildlife class authored and illustrated Birds of Prey books.  They enjoyed sharing their work with our class.  We thought they did a great job and we really enjoyed listening to them read us their books!

Soy Sauce

We read the story Shawn's Soy Sauce this week.  Many of us have never had soy sauce so we wanted to try some of our own.  Dipping crackers in it was a great way to taste it!

Shapes

In math we will classify shapes based on attributes.  Today was our first lesson in our new unit.

 We explored Open Shapes and Closed Shapes.

We used straws to create some of each.

School Wide Bingo

We filled the shield...that means it's time for BINGO!!!

We had a TON of fun playing!  Our class was lucky enough to win a basketball and ice cream treats!  Great job of following our expectations at MAES!

Door Decorating

MAES had a door decorating contest for the month of December.  We decided to do one of our favorite characters...OLAF!
