1st Grade- Feb 3+10
***I am in the super busy GATE referral season, so I am anticipating only posting every other week until Spring Break. I should still be able to post on Instagram each week. Thanks for understanding!***
Today the 1st graders pondered the leaning of the word "idea" and worked with teams to create a circle map defining the word. Next we read the book The Most Magnificent Idea by Ashley Spires, which help the students analyze the concept of "an idea" more deeply.
After practicing using a brainstorming tool, the students got to work building a model of an invention that solves a problem using classroom supplies and their Maker Boxes. They added a video to their digital portfolios showing off their invention. You can find the link to their portfolio libraries linked below.
