First Grade Conversation Starters
4.18.14
Hi Everyone,
We are busy touring Mexico learning about animal migrations and chocolate!
Some ideas to start conversations with your first grader might be…
*what animals migrate to and from Mexico?
*share what you learned and the connections you made to the sea turtle video
*share about the mule deer (Joe Hutto is related to Cheryl's mom's husband- below is a link to the second of his very interesting studies of animals. )
*share your strategy for double digit addition
*tell about the Mexican Cinderella story (we are about half way)
*what did you learn to draw today?
