The students did an amazing job creating an informational space video! It was definitely a challenge to remember all the facts and perform in front of a camera, but they handled it so well! On Friday, they shared the video with the school during our All School Meeting, and they did an equally fantastic job with that, too! So much courage and so much to be proud of!
This week, students continued to express their opinions in their writing. They imagined a new constellation and created a story to go along with it. We also began exploring the problems they observe in the world and how they might take action to help solve them. We read inspirational stories, like that of Jane Goodall, who dedicated herself to saving chimpanzees, and One Plastic Bag, a beautiful book about how one person’s creative idea helped tackle the issue of plastic pollution. While these are big ideas, we can use these stories as inspiration to think about how we can become activists for the issues we care about!
K Math: Students practiced data collection by conducting surveys on a topic of their choice. The following day, we gathered to discuss and analyze the data they had collected.
1st Grade Math: Students wrapped up their mini-unit on fractions. They learned that fractions must have equal parts and explored halves and quarters. We ended the week making fractions flags. Next week, we will start a new unit on place value.
