Hat Day!
Ms. Simpson's first grade class filled their gumball machine for a second time and earned a carnival party! While taking turns getting their faces painted this morning, students did some carnival-themed activities like unscrambling sentences, alphabetizing carnival words, and sorting true/false math equations. Then they all made some balloon dogs and took pictures at the photo booth! This afternoon, everyone got to do some fun game rotations, including balloon darts, foam axe throwing, ring toss, ping pong fishbowls, bullseye ball, chicken flingers, mini golf, googly toss, fishing, and pluck-a-duck! Finally, they topped off the day by picking out some awesome prizes! Everyone had a blast!
