Rock Riddles: Who Am I?

First graders have been examining earth materials,
including soil, sand, clay (powder), and rocks.

learned about the sand cycle and how people use
earth materials in building homes.

Tom shared a presentation with the first graders 
on 5/26/20. We added the new information
about his field to the original brainstormed chart 

by the girls (5/22). Tom returned the next day on

CORAL REEFS

First graders took on the role of marine biologists as they learned about the underwater world of coral reefs. Using information from videos and nonfiction books, girls applied writing workshop skills to write a Coral Reef Report - Chapter 1: Coral Reef (What? Where?), Chapter 2: Fish, and Chapter 3: Marine Animals.
