Hello, Grade 1 Families,
Learning Intention: I can describe and record ways objects or animals move along different pathways.
During our learning in our Energy science unit, we have been talking about the direction of movement (forwards, backwards, sideways), movement pathways (straight lines, curvy, spiral and back and forth), and speed. Students picked an animal to observe, recorded their observations, and demonstrated their understanding of movement with the animal they created using plasticine on the habitat of their animal. It was so great to see the detail students put into their animals and how they showed their movement. As an extension, talk with your child about the movement you see outside of school (ex: at home, driving in the car, walking) and see what they observe.
Next week, we have the opportunity to work with Teacher's Pet for an in-school experience. This will be an awesome time for students to demonstrate their learning and understanding in a novel context. Each child will bring home a race car. Along with this unit, Mr. Newman will introduce our Tale-bots to our class as well. We will be using coding and directions to move our Tale-bots.
We have been learning a new game based on attributes. This is a card game but we have been using the digital version. When playing this game, you are looking for sets of 3 that are either all the same or all different.
