1st Grade
Oh the Places We Love!
By Becky Hall
As a follow up to a reading selection we had first semester titled Lucia’s neighborhood, first grade did a writing project. Each student chose a place in Bennet or Palmyra that they loved. We took a walking tour of each town and took pictures of students at those places, then they wrote why they enjoyed that spot in the community.
Once the pictures were taken, the stories written and edited we published the books with Studentreasures. On Friday, December 20th we hosted publishing parties in our individual classrooms and unveiled “Oh the Places We Love!” to our parents.
“Oh the Places We Love!” spotlights our communities and demonstrates what an impact each place has on individual children. We have challenged our students to be good citizens of Palmyra and Bennet and to continue to make their communities great places to live!
