Since we have a holiday on Friday, I am doing 1st grade’s post today.
The first graders practiced using the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. strategy for creative thinking today by doing an activity with “Substitute.” They imagined a mother bird whose eggs have hatched – only one of the eggs reveals a surprise! I’ve included some of the ideas they had for surprises in our pictures below.
We checked in with our Twitter friends, who had sent a picture of the flag of Indonesia. Some of the students thought it was Poland’s flag. When we did a little research, we realized that the two countries have the same exact flag – only inverted!
The students worked on creating postcards for special sites in their countries that we are also hoping to share with our Twitter friends. They used a fun app on the iPads called Photo Mapo. Most of them did not get a chance to finish, so I will share their creations next week.
