First Grade Going Ons

Ava had a busy week in first grade.  First off, she was student of the week.  She got to bring in a special treat, and got to do special jobs and was the line leader ALL week!  That's a big deal for a first grader!  First to eat, first on the playground...wow! 



 
Then the students had their first major report due.  I guess everyone in the school had to pick an influential person to do a report on, and make a project.  Kind of intense work for a first grader.  It was a great experience for her but I feel sorry for the kids whose parents aren't involved.  And thank God for the internet!  I would have loved to have had the opportunity to use it for research growing up! 
So, we choose Florence Nightengale.  Ava had no idea what an influential person but knew she wanted to do a woman.  So, to the internet we went and of course googled influential people.  I had fun learning about all the great work she did.  Ava, just wanted to get to the art part and the presentation part of the project!  Our hard work paid off.  It was really cute and once again, Ava was great standing in front of her classmates.
