Good afternoon,
We had a week of FUN IN GRADE 1! We learned about "Make 10 Friends" and drew a Make 10 Rainbow to help us remember which numbers add up to 10. See the video below and feel free to watch it with your child at home to review this math strategy.
We also did an AMAZING literacy project this week. Students were asked, "Can you tell a story without using words?" and had a group discussion. They were shown the wordless picture book called "Pancakes for Breakfast." We discussed as a group how pictures can be used to tell stories and we don't always need words. After reading the pictures, students were asked to become authors and give words to this book. We made our very first youtube video and would love to share it with you! The students wrote the script while Ms. Overdevest typed. Students then practiced their lines and then were recorded. Ms. Overdevest used iMovie to put it together!
We also learned about what animals do to prepare for winter. Stay tuned for another amazing project that we can't wait to share with you!
