Though somewhat interrupted, Team 210 made the most of last week! We completed our second i-Ready math benchmark, continued our study of coins and making inferences, and even made use of the 6 fresh inches of snow we received mid-week!
In first grade, we strive to expand our vocabulary in order to better describe and make sense of the world around us! One way Team 210 gets to put this into practice is with our seasonal woods walks. Our first woods walk took place in the fall, tied into our study of using natural resources to make fairy houses. Upon completing our fall walk, students were asked to describe the woods using their five senses, write a fall poem, and also write an entry in our seasons walk journal! Now, in winter, we completed the same activity! We took our walk along the trails behind the school with the goal of using all of our senses to experience the woods around us. This walk was scaffolded so that a part of our walk was dedicated to each of the five senses. We then shared some adjectives to describe what we felt, heard, saw, smelled, and tasted! (Though we were encouraged NOT to eat the snow, we did get a taste when the wind blew snow off of the branches down on us!!) Please enjoy our photos and you can look forward to the completed journal at the end of the school year!
