Reading and Outside Science

It has been difficult to partner with the middle school students for projects this year due to covid. However, when the opportunity arose to work with the middle school National Junior Honor Society students, I did not want to pass it up. So, to ensure the children’s safety, everyone wore masks and the children worked in pairs, to keep numbers low. My first graders paired with an NJHS student to learn about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The middle school students read to the first graders and then together they completed a 5W (who, what, when, where, why) worksheet that the middle school student created. 

The week’s weather started off rainy, but the sun came out and it made for a beautiful day on Tuesday. The class enjoyed a nice recess outside. Then we went back outside for science. We’ve been studying the seasons and day and night. Today the children wrote about his or her favorite season and had to explain why they picked that season.

Have a beautiful day!
