Today we participated in a South 4 Schools learning extravaganza with Andrew Sibbald, Evergreen, and Bridlewood schools. Grade one students at all four of our schools started the day with...a picture of our teacher in grade one! The students wrote letters in their journal to grade one Mrs. Morin and asked me questions to write back and answer. In math we had a lot of fun creating repeating patterns, then switching with classmates to try extending someone else's pattern. (We learned that extending means to make it longer.)
We also watched a video, "Hey Future Me," that had inspired the South 4 grade one teachers, and the students made their own to post on Iris. We played with the "ch" digraph, which we will add to our Sound City map. We listened for it and brainstormed it in the beginning, middle, and ends of words.
