first_grade

I, Kim, met with first grade today, Sept 15 and learned that they are working on citizenship. Next they will work on past/present/future. In science they are talking about "What is a scientist?" Later they will start observing changes through the seasons.

First grade made the point that science has changed. The sequence has changed and some of the content has too. We should be using school net to get objectives rather than our instructional notebook.

We are going to sort items from past/present/future as a pre assessment in the computer lab next week, then write sentences about the topic.
