You've probably noticed by now that your student brought home their amazing inquiry project that we worked on for the first 6 weeks of school. I wish we could keep them longer, but alas, we need to display other things - like these Frankens we did for Halloween!
On the back of the grade 1 project, we have included both the reflection that each student filled out after completing the project, and the rubric I filled out. It was hard to find any big areas for improvement, since everyone really did work diligently and participated well, so everyone has done very well. Level 4's mean that the student worked independently, contributed often and politely and clearly put a lot of effort into their drawings and written work.
I hope you have time to look at the project together with your child. I know they were excited to show you!
In grade 1 science, we are continuing to talk about the seasons, as well as track the weather each day to see what happens over the course of one month. Recently, we did a clothes sort experiment to see how we dress different for each season.
