Yesterday was picture day for all of Grade 1. Students who ordered packages will be receiving their photos soon.

I was with 1C (my tutor class) when we were called down to take photos. Here is a sneak preview of the shots!

Field Trip - Scientific Center and Aquarium

Last Thursday Grade 1 went on a field trip to the Scientific Center and the Aquarium in Kuwait.

We saw lots of really cool animals at the aquarium. We saw snakes, spiders, turtles, penguins, jellyfish, sharks, seahorses, and many types of fish. The students wrote an entry in their journals about the field trip.

In the Scientific Center we went to an interactive exhibit all about 'light'. Students were able to run around and explore, while also learning.

Here are a few photos from our adventures.

Verbs!

We are learning about verbs in grammar. A verb is an 'action word'. It is something that you do!

Students had a great time brainstorming different verbs in the class. After we made a big list of them, we acted them all out to show how they are 'doing words'.

Here are the brainstorming lists that we have come up with.

To practice at home: Ask your child to name some verbs (or action words) that they are doing at home. If you ask them during dinner they should be able to tell you that they are eating, drinking, talking, breathing etc. We are always doing something!

Green Day!

Today was Green Day at GBS. Students were decked out in green clothing and did a lot to celebrate being good to the earth.

All Grade 1 classes planted a small plant at the front of the school. I was with 1C during this time. Here are some photos of them planting.

We also had a lot of fun in the classroom in our green outfits. Here is 1C.

And 1N.

Have a great weekend - and remember to take care of the earth everyday - not just Green Day!
