The First Grade is in the midst of learning about freedom quilts. They have learned about the different squares and how they led the slaves to freedom. The photos below show how the girls are using different designs to "hide" the meaning of the squares. Keep watching as the girls will be designing a quilt of their own.
We read non fiction books with a partner. We discussed the book with each other. We drew our own graphic organizer and filled it in. We took the words from our organizers and wrote a non fiction report.
We gathered pine cones from the yard. We brought the pine cones back into the classroom. We made observations about the cones and took a seed from the cone and observed it.
We decided to put the open pine cones into water to see what they would do overnight. We made the prediction that they would sink. Some of the girls decided they would shrink. Can you guess who was right?
