Lynx

When I look back and try to remember my 1st grade experience, the things I remember are sitting at a round table learning to read short words.  We would fold a paper into a book and on the back there would be 3 short words: pig, run, hop.  Ok, you get my drift....

So let's fast forward 28+years....

The last quarter of 1st grade for Garyn is SLIGHTLY different.  This week he completed his research project and presented it through a power point presentation to his class.  At the beginning of the quarter, they had to pick an animal to research.  They had 5 questions to answer plus had to include 5 other interesting facts about the animal.  Once this was completed, they took every Wednesday in technology (love how the classes work together) to prepare a power point presentation.  Garyn took his writing and type it onto power point slides.  He included pictures too.
The creative part of the project was to complete a mobile, diorama, poster board, etc for a visual for the report.

Well....let me tell you!!!  These children are so far above from pig, run, hop it's incredible!!!!  We had the honor of going to his class to watch him along with his classmates present their power points.  Each child did an OUTSTANDING job.  We learned about horses, lions, whales, the lynx.  Each child stood in front of the class so proud and excited to share what they learned.  Each classmate listened with excitement!  They all offered questions and compliments!

Thank you Miss Scheidler!  You have fed these little (or should I say BIG) minds with so much knowledge and more importantly confidence.  We love you!
