I LOVE teaching 1st graders because they are so excited to learn new things. I introduced them to BIOGRAPHIES recently. We started our unit by reading On A Beam of Light: A Story of Albert Einstein and talked about what difference he made in our world. Over the past two weeks we have begun each class with a read aloud and then we break out into our partner groups and get to work on PebbleGo.
More books we read outloud:
Examples of their research:
Students created drawings of their person on ArtPad.com and we printed these. They also shared them with me electronically.
