Ms. Benear's First Grade


Pumpkin Science: This Friday from 2:45 - 3:30pm we will be investigating pumpkins. Please let me know if you are available to help with this project at that time.  I will also need six medium/large pumpkins donated.
50's Day: November 15th is the 50th day of school. Because EVERYONE celebrates the 100th day of school...I thought it would be fun to celebrate the 50th day by dressing in 50's garb, bowling in the classroom and having a sock hop, skip and a jump! This is not a party, but I encourage you to help your child dress up!
Family Turkey Project: This project is for the entire family. Your "homework" is to create a turkey out of anything you can find around the house. We have had balloon turkeys, leaf turkeys, huge pretzel bin turkeys, clay turkeys, hand print turkeys, edible turkeys, etc. Brainstorm with the entire family and come up with a clever turkey. Please send it to school with your child on Friday, November 19th. The children will be presenting their turkeys to the class. They should be able to tell what materials they used, who helped, how they made their turkey. Don't worry...more detailed info coming your way!
