Memphis City Schools District Exhibit
Many of you have asked about what our class is doing for the district wide exhibit. First Grade is focusing on the Social Studies curriculum for the second six weeks and comparing and contrasting other cultures with our own. The first grade team is learning about a different country on each continent. Our continent is Europe, so we decided to study about France. We have created maps of France. We learned about and designed a map key that shows all the different landscapes of France. We made French flags, and are working on creating our own Impressionist painting ( a la Monet) of water lilies. We are going to construct the Eiffel Tower using popsicle sticks, and sample some French foods. Mrs. Boggs is helping us learn a French song. We have a lot planned and are very busy trying to put it all together. Don’t worry, students will be working on this at school- I won’t be sending any assignments home. If you would like to volunteer to help at school next week in the afternoon, let me know! Send a comment here or a note.
Merci!

Hi Ms. Garverick,
I hope you read this in time and I hope you are still in need of a chaperone for the trip tomorrow. I can’t remember if I signed up already just like I couldn’t remember if I had paid or not. Jordan is a bit under the weather so I’d like to stay close to him especially since this is an outdoors trip.
Thanks,
Sherry
P.S.
Thanks for working on the 1st grade projects in class. It’s all I can do to help my 5th grader with his submission! I can’t imagine having to work on more than one at the same time.
