First Grade
The First-Grade class at Saint John of God School has been busy at
work learning about story sequencing, word problems in math, the phases
of the Moon, patterns in nature and landmarks. This week, students
presented a STEAM activity on landmarks. The challenge was to build a
landmark of their choice from anywhere around the world using their
engineering and artistic skills. Students surprised me with a wide arrange of
landmarks from all over the world, from The Golden Gate Bridge in San
Francisco, The Gateway Arch in Missouri, the Statue of Liberty in New York
to the Big Ben, Stonehenge and the Eifel Tower in Europe. There were
also renditions of the Sydney Opera House in Australia, Christ the
Redeemer in Brazil, and Pyramids from Mexico and Egypt! Students also
conducted research about each of these and presented their findings and
project to the class. I am so incredibly proud of all the students and their
effort. It is blessing to have such a wonderful group of parents and
grandparents that support and encourage learning.
