SEE THINK WONDER

As a provocation for our new unit on "personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change", we did a 'See Think Wonder' Thinking Routine activity. 

In groups, the students looked at photos related to the unit and wrote down things that they see, what they thought and wonderings that they may have. 

This thinking routine was then used as a springboard to unlock our unit vocabulary words such as: personal, history, events, and change.

 

TIMELINE

The students also completed a simple timeline that shows the past, present and future. As we inquire further in the unit, they will be able to gain more detailed knowledge about their personal history. 

NUMERACY / LITERACY

This week we also started with our math and reading stations.

During the different station activities, each group will get a chance to explore different  concepts and activities that will help strengthen their math and language skills.
