The First Grade Helpful Hedgehogs celebrated publishing a class book, From Land to Sea. Each student researched an animal, wrote a page for the book, and created an illustration. Students presented their book and enjoyed ice cream sundaes and cookies that the first-grade parents so graciously provided.
A copy of the book is available to be checked out in the Greenwood Library. Celebrating first grade reading , writing, and creative expression is a fantastic way to end the school year. Have a great summer.
Colbie Hinkley's mom Leslie visited the first-grade classroom to celebrate Colbie's student of the week today. Leslie has worked for the Springfield Cardinals for 19 seasons with the video and production crew. Students learned about the cameras, two that are robots. The cameras have an iris like our eyes that can be controlled depending on the sunlight and to balance the color temperature. Colbie's mom controls the images for the large video boards and communicates with the cameras to get the best shots. Students asked great questions and learned about all the job components required to broadcast the games around the world. Colbie and her mom gave each student a Springfield Cardinals baseball cap. Batters Up!
