1st grade recently complete a giant unit on the Caldecott Award. During these lessons, we used our stop light model for Creepy Carrots to identify the problem and solution of the story, completed a building challenge by building fences for some creepy carrots, read Extra Yarn and used a bit of our own on some paper animals, and participated in a "Caldecott Quest" to find our individual, favorite Caldecott books. Once students chose a favorite book, they completed a project about it using the ChaterPix app. Follow the link below to see our projects!
We're a little behind in posting one our our projects... First and fifth grades have been pretty busy! 1st grade recently complete a giant unit on the Caldecott Award. During these lessons, we used our stop light model for Creepy Carrots to identify the problem and solution of the story, completed a building challenge by building fences for some creepy carrots, read Extra Yarn and used a bit of our own on some paper animals, and participated in a "Caldecott Quest" to find our individual, favorite Caldecott books. Once students chose a favorite book, they completed a project about it using the ChaterPix app. Follow the link below to see our projects! 5th grade completed our annual "someday" project based on the book Someday by Eileen Spinelli. Just like the main character in the book, students identified something they would like to be/do SOMEDAY and think about how they are preparing for it today. Students drew illustrations to match, and then, recorded their projects using the Clips app. 5th graders also completed another digital project using iMovie in teams this week. During the previous year, students learned about Lawrence illustrator Stephen Johnson and worked with his book Alphabet City. This year, students located and photographed numbers found from everyday objects around our school in order to create their own version of Stephen Johnson's City by Numbers. BOTH projects can be seen by following the link below!
