What an exciting day we’ve had in first grade!  Working with second grade, we spent the day learning all about Helen Keller.  Focusing on reading comprehension, students read about Helen, sequenced events in her life, and wrote about her many accomplishments.  Tying into science and our review of the 5 senses, students created models of the eye and the ear. They selected from a list of activities including a senses code, BrainPop activities, reading and answering questions about Braille, writing and performing a play, and partnering to create presentations.
