1A Classroom Update 16
June 23, 2017
Dear 1A Families,
Can you believe that this is going to be our last classroom update of the school year?! It has been a wonderful year watching our 1A friends learn and grow in different ways. We'd also like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU ALL for all of your support and cooperation in making this a successful year. Please enjoy the final 1A photos and videos below and have a fabulous summer! We will see you in September.
Our Poetry Corner
We have a lot of poets in 1A! In the last few weeks, we already wrote rhyming poems, acrostic poems, five senses poems, as well as shape poems. We hope you enjoyed reading them at Curriculum Share.
1A Jeopardy
We had a mini trivia game to celebrate the end of the year and all that we have learned from our time travels to Constantinople, Kyoto, and Mexico. Our 1A friends recalled so many different facts about each destination -- we had a tie! Congratulations, 1A for all the new knowledge you have acquired!

Anytime Anywhere: Mexico City
This time around in our travels, we had BPCS middle school students come in to run each station, do read alouds, and have fun with us! We even had an Obstacle Challenge that was inspired by the "Legend of the Hidden Temples" from the '90s. Check out the photos and video below!

Mexican Dance Workshop
We were so lucky to be able to have experts from the Mexican Dance Company to teach us a traditional dance. We started off with learning about the Mexican region, then after some warm-ups, we got our groove on and danced away! We even got to put on some props! On our last Town Hall Meeting of the year, we got to see a spectacular traditional performance by them and some of our 1A friends were selected to dance along. Check out the photos and video!
