{Firsties' Folktale Fest}

We've had so much fun learning about American folktales the last two weeks!

We celebrated the end of our unit today by dressing up as a folktale character.

We had several Annie Oakley's, some Davy Crockett's, and a  John Henry show up in first grade!

For our cooking activity, we made and enjoyed Paul Bunyan's Flapjacks!

(As an extra treat, they were made by Davy Crockett!!)

{Hallo-weeeeeeen!}

The Firsties completed a Storybook Character Project this week! They each read a book, chose a character, and decorated a pumpkin to look like their character. They also completed a report where they described the character, identified what the character did in the story, and told why they like the character.

 We participated in the MBES Storybook Character Parade this week! 

Here we are in our costumes. Everybody looked great!

The Firsties also completed a research project. They were divided into a Bat Group or a Spider Group. Each group researched through nonfiction books. Each member of the group found their own bat or spider fact and then illustrated a picture to go with their fact. 

 Last but not least...PUMPKIN BREAD!!!
