Winter Wonderland:

First Grade is so much FUN!!!!!

 

We made the CUTEST snowman clocks.  We can use our new clocks to read time to 5-minutes!! 

 

 

We played "Time Move-it!" using our snowman clocks.  Learning is SO MUCH FUN!!!

 

 

MORE Winter Fun:

 

We have been learning about animals all year.  For the past couple of weeks, we have been learning about ways that animals survive through the winter.  Some birds migrate, but others have to find food throughout the winter.  We made bird feeders to help keep their bellies full!

 

 

Directions for making bird-feeders:

 

1. mix boiling water, unflavored gelatin, and birdseed.   We used 2 boxes (8 packets) of gelatin and 2 cups of water and 1 bag of birdseed.

 

 

2.  Press the mixture into greased cookie cutters. (We used paper plates with a sheet of wax paper and plastic spoons)

 

 

3.  Push a straw all the way through to create a hole.  Leave the straw until the mixture hardens.

 

 

4.  Once the mixture hardens, remove it from the cookie cutter.  Remove the straw.  Put yarn or ribbon through the hole and tie it up to hang on a tree limb.

 

 

 

 

 And, of course, we wrote the directions to share with our families.  This could be a fun project to do at home!  I am SO PROUD of the writing these smart boys and girls are producing!  We have some talented writers in this beehive!!!
