We had another wonderful day of fun and learning with First Grade!
Unit Study:
We read about what an apprentice is and how daVinci apprenticed with Verocchio to learn painting, sculpting, and building. We also did a STEM project of designing and building a Bird Cage. The kids did a great job collaborating to create their products! Finally, we started to learn counting 1-10 in Italian with "Numbers Song in Italian". Give it a listen if you're interested.
Math Skills:
We worked more on telling time, focusing on Telling Time to the Half Hour this week. We'll continue that next week.
Stations:
We used our convergent thinking to solve puzzles using our Versatiles kits. The kids did a great job with these! The kids used their divergent thinking to draw five faces with different noses, just like daVinci did when he was learning to sketch. We used our collaboration skills to play a variety of critical thinking games and work some jigsaw puzzles. They are really coming along with teamwork!
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
