Starting First Grade Off Right... Centers!!!

Room 11 First Graders walked in the room Monday morning ready to set new reading goals, ready for "challenging, fifth grade math," ready for recess on the "big playground," ready for science explorations, ready to see each other, but most of all ready for... CENTERS! Here are a few moments captured as the children explored new, "big kid" centers and old favorites...




This is Isaac checking out "Science" Center. We are collecting bones, feathers, rocks, minerals, and other items of interest to add to our collection. You can see Isaac is sketching the items in his science journal.

Kyle, Griffin, and Hadley tried their hands at the new 1st grade center, "No-Ends," aptly named because there is no end to the creations and buildings you can make!









James, Trigg, and Luke chose an old favorite, "Inventions!" In Inventions children create anything and everything with boxes, tape, string, ribbon, bottles... you name it! Parents, please don't throw away your cereal boxes! We will use them!










Ava and Nikki are storytelling with "Fairy Tales" center.













Another classic... Sand Center! Monique, Mandi, Jayden, and Bernadette are getting a little dirty!

Skylar and Honor (below) are at "Chalk" Center... using their best "teaching" voices!

Shelby Kate, Andrew, Isaac, and Mikas are making new versions of their old favorites from Marble Run.

Alex and Anthony are exploring with "Marble Tilt" and "City Center," respectively.
