Hi room 5 families! What an incredible exhibition we had. I hope you are proud of your first grader and all of the learning and hard work that they put into their project. Below are pictures before the waves of crowds came to celebrate the students. After projects we like to have students reflect on their learning and bring the project full circle. At home parents can ask, "What was your highlight from the project?" "What opinions do you have about chocolate or the rainforest?" "What was challenging about the project?" "What did you enjoy the most about the project?" "What advice would you give future first graders who will do the chocolate project?". Here we are making chocolate with Ms. Schutlz from room 4. We learned about the importance of tempering and how that makes the chocolate shiny and smooth. We launched our math unit on geometry! It is my favorite subject to teach because no matter where a student is at in math shapes and angles speak to them. Ms. Dorrance launched the unit with a lesson on symmetry and related it to the rainforest and butterflies. Parents can ask students, "What does it mean for something to have symmetry?" "How do you know?" Today we toured the school to look at exhibition projects from kindergarten and second grade. Upper grade students also had a chance to come look at our exhibition and ask us questions about our project. Below are some pictures from the tour. We tried chocolate covered insects today and they were a hit! The sour cream and onion crickets were also popular.
