100 Day Fun!

The 100th day of school is so much fun in grade one!  We celebrate the entire day (and usually the next as well)!

Fairy Tale/Fantasy Dress Up Day

We had a lot of fun in grade one today.  It was dress-up as a fairy tale or fantasy character for "I Love to Read" month!  We had a lot of great costumes!

We have been reading a lot of different versions of the 3 Little Pigs.  In the afternoon the students had a challenge to design a straw house that the big bad wolf could not blow down.  They had to work in small groups and they were given straws, tape, and plasticene to construct their houses.  It was interesting to see all the different designs.

Afterwards we had a visit from the Big Bad Wolf and she could not blow down any of our houses.  Then we tried another wolf (a fan) and it could not blow down the houses either!
