I hope everyone had a great week off for February Vacation. We had a wonderful first week back and accomplished a lot in 1A. The students started off the week brainstorming good story ideas about events that happened over February vacation. Then, they each choose their favorite idea and wrote a story. Next week we are going to revisit how to use a graphic organizer.
Our Queen Bee this week was Riddhisha! Riddhisha made an organized poster that taught us that she wants to be an Art teacher and she is a talented chess and piano player.

Animals in Winter
Now that we know that animals survive during the cold, winter months, each student has selected an animal to study. We are using non-fiction texts to help us with our research. First, each student used the photographs to wonder/ask questions on sticky notes. Next, we are trying to use the features of our text to help us answer our questions. We are using an organizer to record our answers and will create a beautiful poster to showcase our new learning.
