Amazing Animal Projects!

Today day we showcased all of our hard work for the past few weeks.  When I started this project with my firsties, I had a list of expectations....
1. Log-in to Google Drive
2. Locate answers to the questions from the Google Doc
3. Type answers into the document
4. Have 4th graders help students edit, locate pictures, and customize presentation.
5. Share animal projects

Well, my Wonderful Whales SHATTERED these expectations.  Here is what they ACTUALLY did...
1. Learned to log-in to Google Drive independently
2. Located answers to questions from the Google Doc from multiple resources
3. Typed answers into the document with capitalization and punctuation
4. Located pictures independently and pasted into presentation
5. Edited and revised their presentation with minor suggestions from Mrs. Wanke
6. Customized their presentation with 4th graders
7. Practiced presenting animal projects to the class
8. Peer edited each others presentations
9.  Presented to class and parents with confidence.

Needless to say, I am one proud teacher!  I can't wait to do more of this next year.

Using the Chrome books to log-in, research, and edit our presentations.


Check out our presentations!











We survived our presentation!








Check back tomorrow for more pictures and videos!

Why I Should go to Second Grade

We have had some awesome speeches, and so far everyone gets to go to second grade!  Judge Wanke has been quite lenient.



Check out my speech...

First Grade has been fun, don't bet me wrong. But I'm really ready for 2nd grade.  Thanks to the best teacher in the world, Mrs. Wanke.  I'm ready to read harder books, write more in my journal, and solve harder math problems.  I promise to keep using my stamina and work even harder in 2nd grade!
