Buddy Pumpkin Glyph, State Research, National Park Commercials, and More!

We love our Friday CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) Time. 

We get to explore our passions as we wrap up our week of learning! 


We used our research to create commercials to convince others to visit our National Park.
We will be posting these on our Seesaw blog so we can check out other commercials.
More info on how to access the blog for families will be coming soon!

As we researched, we really focused on learning how to take notes on nonfiction text.
We learned about many different text structures of nonfiction: cause/effect, problem/solution, chronological, description, and compare/contrast.

Our focus for the National Parks was a technique called boxes and bullets.
We are learning how to think of it as main idea and key details for a particular section.









Many used notecards to help us with our National Park commercials.



Officer Maldonado led an assembly discussing healthy choices and making safe choices as we begin
Red Ribbon Week this week!


We learned how to play a new math game called "Cover the Field."
Kids had to strategize to cover the board using different areas for rectangles.



We began sharing our state presentations.
Our goal was to include three places to visit in the state, as well as information on the region that it is located in and other cool facts! We still have 4 more to share this week.


We worked on completing our pumpkin glyph with our first grade buddy.









I found some cool activities for the kids to work on at a local consignment shop.
Yay for creators!



More state presentations...
