First Grade Update - Feb. 14

Today was our day to finish up two different activities.  First we finished learning about Abraham Lincoln.  The children have their booklet to share with you.  There were many difficult concepts, but my goal is to introduce them to the information.  If they enjoyed the topic, maybe they will seek out a book at their own reading level to learn even more.  We learned two really big words today emancipation and seceded.  I wast thrilled with the amount of information that the students remembered from last week.

We also finished our pattern activity.  The children should have a bead necklace with them that is designed using a building pattern of their own development.  I was happy with the results. 

Next week we'll be finishing the Max the Magician Visual / Spatial Learning activities.  Our next thinking skill is Evaluative Thinking with Jordan the Judge, an owl.
