We had two big projects we worked on in first grade this week. The first one was doing research on one American Symbol. The kids read books and learned how to summarize important facts on a bubble map. The we wrote sentences about our favorite symbol, drew a picture and worked on a collage challenge: see if you can make your symbol using only paper, scissors and glue. They came out wonderful and are now hanging on our bulletin board in the hall.
We also spent lots of time this week talking about Family: how our families are similar and different, how each one is special and unique. Each child has worked for weeks to make a family book and was so proud to finally sit down this week to look through the finished product.
Afterwards the kids found a partner to read their book to. Each team asked each other: How are our families similar? How are they different?
Then we went to work wrapping up a special surprise coming home for you today.
Oh, the excitement once they were all lined up and ready to go! Every first grader sharing a different plan of how to give it to their family.
Wishing all families a wonderful holiday season. Hope you have some restful, special moments with your wonderful children. See you in 2018!
