I visited Mr. Robert’s first grade class at Ida Elementary School again today. We talked about signs of Spring.
I first came into the classroom wearing my winter coat, hat and gloves and asked the students if they were ready to measure the snow. That really got a rise out of the students and was a lot of fun. I had the kids break up into teams of three. One student was to write down what the group observed outside. A second student was suppose to make sure the observations were good and the third student was to present back in the classroom what the group found. It was a lot of fun. There were flowers and buds on trees, etc. I posted some pictures below of what we saw as well as the students’ worksheets. I stressed to them that they needed to use descriptive words with their observations such as the color or size.
