Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful I get to spend my "work" days teaching and learning and loving with these darlings! I already miss them.

American Symbol Art

The first graders have learned so much about America's famous and favorite symbols. I would believe that any first grader at Crest View Elementary would know more details about America's symbols that most adult educated Americans. We have had a lot of fun learning and creating the symbols......and we are not done yet!! Here are some photos of their projects so far. Click here to see the photos on mobile devices.

Models of the Washington Monument

It took 13 marshmallows and 16 toothpicks to make first grade Washington Monuments. Here they are from start to finish.

Learning About Day of the Dead

As part of our study of Mexico, we learned about the Day of the Dead celebration. We decorated sugar skulls.

The Boulder Firefighters Came to Visit.

They taught the first graders some very important fire safety information.
