Bye Bye Miss Caras...

Using our circle map to make a tree map.

Another FUN day in first grade! Miss Caras got a chance to teach some lessons that needed to be done for her college classes! WE got to enjoy them and learn a lot!

Parker brought the book You Are Special by Max Lucado...It has a wonderful message about ignoring people who are judging you...Just focus on those of us who love you for who you are! Parker thank you so much for sharing!

We made observations of our classroom dragon on our circle map and then took that information and put it on a tree map...The subject of our sentences is The Dragon...our verbs are can, feels and has. We than added in our details. This format allows the kids to see a complete idea...kind of taking away the "abstractness" of "a complete idea"!

And then we had a very cool lesson on Christopher Columbus. We watch a fun video, listened to a story and then sequenced his "life" on a flow map.

Like I said yesterday, unfortunately, today was Miss Caras' last day! But it was a good one and we can't wait until she comes back in January!
Please Enjoy our newest podcasters! Donte, Kirstin, Nikolas, Endya and Eli!! Great job little dragons!
