Field Trip to the Children's Museum





What a perfect day! Friday, October 14th was our first field trip in first grade. We started by going to a park and playing on a hill. The kids were all running and playing and having a great time. All of that running must have made them hungry...we ate lunch at 10!









After lunch we loaded back onto the bus and headed over to the children's museum. We were met there by our museum tour guide. She took us to 5 stations where the kids got to explore, learn and play. It was so neat to see their imaginations at work as they went through all of the stations.


Here are some pictures for you to see and and enjoy. :)








The true sign of a great field trip...

Natural and Artificial Light

We have been discussing light this week. Today, we discussed the difference between natural light and artificial light. The kids found examples of both in magazines.

At dinner tonight, discuss the following question:
Is a candle natural or artificial light? Explain your thinking.

You can type, or have students type their responses to this post and we will share them in class.

I can't wait to hear your discussions!
