Our last IB unit of this school year is Expressing Ourselves. This unit is all about how people use different forms of expression to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas. It helps us grow as communicators by sharing ideas in different ways, reflective thinkers by understanding not only our own feelings and actions but also others, and how to be open-minded by appreciating how others express themselves. First grade team focused on who we are and how we express ourselves in different cultures. 

In May, we had the Spring Art Festival and the students performed "The Rattlin' Bog- Barefoot Books" and "What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong." The students celebrated "Multicultural Day" by dressing up in their traditional costumes and learning the songs from different countries. They also got to participate in "Multicultural Parade." They had an amazing time there. Our first graders had the best time of their school year by participating in Field Day at Socceroof. They showed off their athletic skills and what they've learned at PE throughout the school year. We are all winners!! 

The students created "Me In A Bag" by using a paper bag. They draw the objects, the events and the photos that represent them. They also put the objects that represent them inside the bag. Those will be presented at First Grade Year End Showcase on June 24. We are looking forward to learn more about our first graders!
