Here's what Superheroes sound like when they are busy at school!
Roll A Story
Today for a fun writing activity we did a Roll A Story. Everyone loved it! The Superheroes came up with some great plot twists in their stories. So proud of all the hard work. Next, we had to share them all because they were so good! I hope you enjoyed listening to them during your holiday break!
Goods and Services
This is a good time of the year to discuss the goods and services we use. As we discussed how things are organized we decided to look at goods and services around the world not just in our community. We are realizing that it is more difficult then we thought. After many conversations, this is what we developed so far.
Learner Profile and Attitudes
Today we did an in-depth study of the attitudes. It was interesting because all three of the groups had a hard time with the word empathy. Most students connected it to how would we feel if we were homeless. We reread and discussed classroom books and determined what attitude the character was showing. Next, we had to present the book, the character and our reasoning for the choice.
One last time...
This is what I love about my Superheroes... We sat down to watch all the other grade levels walk by in costumes. When it was all over and we had to wait...
The Superheroes just started reading their books!
Fairy Tale Parade
It was an exciting day today! Loved all the costumes and characters that showed up in the classroom. The students were so enthusiastic about their choices!
Literacy Stations
Here's a glimpse into the literacy stations in our classroom. You can find students reading and writing in all parts of the room. In the science station, students are exploring using science tools such as magnifying glasses and balances. We are also carefully watching the seeds we planted to see if they sprout. In the writing center, students are engaged in several different writing possibilities from zig zag stories to a weekend report. I love seeing what emerges on the large white board during stations. This week I saw the questions who, what , when where and why used as an organizer to map out a possible story. During Stop, Drop and Write, students are encouraged to build a setting and then write the story that goes with it. So much creativity, imagination and fun with learning!
A Superhero...
Together the team of Superheroes put together this chart as a reminder of Who We Are. We want our first grade year to be the best! We finished reading a trilogy by Emily Jenkins and it ends with the three animals wondering why they are there? I posed that question to the Superheroes...
We are here to make friends
to learn math
to be kind to each other
to help one another
