We're Off to See the Wizard

Wow! That was about all we could say. Friday was fun-filled from the moment we arrived to school until the moment we left. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! We could not have asked for nicer weather as we took our lunch to Sawyer Point. After lunch we enjoyed a few minutes on the playground.

We got together to take a class photo before we headed off to the theater.

The show was great! The music, effects, and actors were all fantastic. Many kids were at the edge of their seats the entire time.

After the performance, we had to wait, and wait, and wait to be dismissed. However, two of our students got to ask questions about the performance. I apologize for the quality of the photos.

You can see that all the excitement wore us out!

But we still had work to do! When we returned from our field trip, students wrote about what they enjoyed and created "The Emerald City."

It was a such a nice day together as a class. The entire week was fun as we learned about tornadoes, rainbows, and the story. I cannot wait for you to see all the work displayed at conferences.
This week is another favorite theme of mine...Harvest!

Peter Pan

What a day yesterday!  We have been waiting and waiting and FINALLY our field trip day arrived!  Our first grade district field trip is going to the Taft Theater in downtown Cincinnati.  We began our trip by eating lunch at Sawyer Point, then enjoying the playground for a few minutes.  The rain held off and the students had a wonderful time.  Here we all are at Sawyer Point.

Next, we arrived at the Taft Theater to enjoy the performance of Peter Pan Jr.   It was fantastic!  The Children's Theater of Cincinnati put together a great adaptation of the Disney classic.  There was flying, singing, and great effects.  Overall, it was just so much fun.

Some of us were exhausted on the way home!

We finished our day by creating a class book about our field trip.  It was a great day!
