We started our new science unit! The entomologists began their study of insects with mealworms. On Thursday, the entomologists got to go on a ladybug hunt outside in the Stephenson garden...there were tons of them! We also have some caterpillars that have joined us in room 112 and are starting their metamorphosis :)
In math, the first graders got to start purchasing animals for their farm. They have been calculating the amount of money needed to buy the land, pasture and animals for their farms. Their farms are starting to fill up!
Our new writing unit corresponds with our math farm unit. The students chose their top 3 farm animals that they wanted to research, and this week they were assigned a farm animal to study. They will use books and Ipads to research and fill out graphic organizers about their animal. We are going to have 20 farm animal experts!
