First Grade is busy preparing for our Patriotic Performance on June 13th. We will be performing 10 songs with some choreographed surprises! In science we have been busy exploring Air and Weather through hands on exploration. We also can’t forget to mention that the Superkids are keeping us busy by sharing their stories and knowledge about Reading and Language Arts.

In May, spring concerts, our wax museum presentations, and the Philadelphia Zoo trip kept us busy.

The Spring concert helped us to connect science topics in our studies of “The Physics of Sound”. The Wax Museum project encompassed reading skills, listening/speaking, applying research skills, and great extensions into social studies. Great efforts and progress was seen. We continue to practice multiplication skills, and division has been introduced in math class. Recently, each class received chrome books to explore. We are having fun discovering new websites, and working together to extend our learning.

EarlyAct Club: In March, Tawanka began its first EarlyAct Club. This school service club is run by our 4th graders and carries out service projects for the school, local, and international communities. The club is overseen by the Feasterville and Langhorne Rotary Clubs. Two service projects our students completed were a canned food drive servicing a local food bank, and the Dollars for Daisies Campaign servicing the Pediatric Wing at St. Mary Medical Center.

Congratulations to our first Team - Rowan Murray, Luke Murray, Jason Wilmot, Erin Pote, Maddie Shtino, Megan Miller, Justin Harris, Maya McGory, Hannah Olivera, and Grace Statchuk. Great job! We can't wait to see what our next group of fourth graders will accomplish!
