Easter Fun!







We enjoyed the wonderful picture book, The Easter Egg by Jan Brett this past week.  In this special book,   there are many different variations of beautiful eggs that are created throughout this story.  1st grade then set to work creating their own beautiful egg using yarn, a balloon, and a glue/water mixture.  It was definitely a great opportunity to persevere and show off our teamwork skills!  Hopefully some of these colorful eggs made it home safely!

Spring Concert



What a good lookin' group of first graders!  It was a lot of fun coming together as an entire school and celebrating Music in our Schools during this month.

We Love Reading!






During the week of Dr. Seuss' birthday, we celebrated each day with a fun reading activity!  We were fortunate to also have guest readers come in and share a book or two with us.  The first graders also truly enjoyed their time with 'oobleck' based upon this famous Dr. Seuss story.  A big, big thank you to the many parents who also provided cupcakes as a treat for each Wellman Elementary friend.  Last, the PTO was very gracious to give each student at WE a book of his/her own!
