Career Day! First we saw Judge Bufkin. He showed us how a trial works. Then we heard from his brother, Matt Bufkin from First National Bank. He gave us some cool money holders! Last, we learned about animal relocation and saw some cool animals! Fun! #aesmakeyourmark

We had so much fun at our field trip to the Sea Quest Aquarium. We got to feed and touch many different animals. It was such a great experience, and we made some memories! Thank you AES PTO for funding this trip! #aesmakeyourmark

It’s a special day in first grade @ActonElementary . Eggs were put in our brand new incubators. We got these cool incubators through a grant from the Granbury Education Foundation. Egg-citing days ahead! #aesmakeyourmark

Superhero ‘a’ visited @ActonElementary this week. He is one of the superhero vowels. They are the only letters with the superhero ability to say their name! We love using #secretstories to connect to phonics! #aesmakeyourmark.

This week we have been reading nonfiction books. We read a book that told us how to make butter, so of course we had to do it! Delicious! #aesmakeyourmark

Writer’s Cafe!

After wrapping up their first writing unit, our first graders shared their final, published pieces with their peers during lunch! They practiced their speaking/listening skills, and got to show off their masterpieces!

So proud of these authors! 🎉
