Mrs. Nelson’s Class Blog

In 1st grade, we are hatching quail eggs. We keep them in an incubator that is made out of a Styrofoam box with poked holes in the top. We have to keep the eggs at a special temperature. We also have a calendar to keep track of when the eggs will hatch. Another
important thing to do is have constant lighting on the eggs, so we poked a huge hole and put in a light bulb. We have been turning them around 360 degrees to see the whole egg.  The eggs are tan with brown polka-dots. What do you think would be the best idea to do with them when they hatch?   We are going to let them go and be free. Do you think that is a good thing or a bad thing?

Our book for Authors in April was called Otis, it was about a baby calf that got stuck in the mud and Otis saved her. The author of Otis was Loren Long. When he came to our school he drew a picture for us of Otis. We also got to ask the author questions about the book. He read the book to us and he even read us a different story about Otis. My favorite part when the author came was when he drew the picture of Otis. I really enjoyed reading the book and meeting the author.

For centers each one is different. We go to table to table. For example for word wall we write our spelling words. We write our spelling words in many ways such as using stamps, typing on the computer, and write them on paper. Our other centers are: making words, listening center, and writing center, read to self, and read to someone. My favorite is listening center. Each person has a group I am on the purple team. Centers are really fun!

You can get toys in the treasure box, if you be good. If you get all the stars punched out,
you can go to the treasure box and get a toy. Some toys you can get are: stuff that you can
hang on your backpack, a yoyo, stickers, rings, pouches with toys in them,slinkies,different
colored slinkies, sometimes sponges, bouncy balls, and cool stuff.

Our class went to the theater to see a play called Duck for President. It was a funny play and it was a good play. And we saw another play called, Fancy Nancy. Fancy Nancy was also a good play. And we saw another play called, I Have to Go. This play called I have to go was a funny play.

In first grade, around Christmas time we made art to remember. First, we got water colors and painted a rainbow with all the colors of the rainbow on a regular piece of paper. Second, we painted the background blue like the sky. Third, we colored our families with markers on paper to go under our rainbow. Mrs. Nelson cut them out and our families got glued on the paper under the rainbow. That’s how we made our art to remember.

We went to a farm in the fall. It was sunny out. I rode in the car with Sydney and her mom. First we fed the ducks, and then we went to see the pigs. Then we got to see the cows. We also did butter churning. It was exciting to see a black and white cat under the picnic table.
We brought a sack lunch. It was a fun day!

Mrs. Nelson is my first grade teacher. She is the best teacher I ever had.
She has some very special quail eggs that we are taking care of at school.
Some of them hatched. She teaches us different subjects, like, Math, Reading
, Writing, and we write in our journals. We also do centers. Centers are
different learning centers around the room. We have six all together.
She also takes us on different field trips to plays and other places.

We invited special people to spend the day with us at school.  Here’s what we thought about our time together:
