Super excited to stop by and check out the @figma booth at #TCEA24!

In case you wondered how many species of crocodiles there are or what a group of jellyfish are called… 😂😂 I present: Independent research study by Ms. Pettit’s Super Curious First Graders. @canSTEM

We finished up our latest read aloud, Once Upon a Tim by @AuthorStuGibbs! 10/10 recommend. Students slowly added to our book thinking map during our iCAN time & it’s finally finished. They love going back to revisit their contributions & retell the story! @canSTEM

We’re finishing up our Number Sense to 120 unit in math & my cubs asked to practice our mathematical thinking with number talks! They ♥️ them! @canSTEM

Our bug hotel is almost open for business! Students researched & thoughtfully designed rooms for their intended guests by choosing materials they depend on for shelter! @canSTEM

I used my scholars favorite and most frequent 😂 science question-How many species of (insert animal) are there?-to practice comparative language in math today. They were super invested! Got ‘em! 😊 @canSTEM

We’ve learned about interdependence & now we’re researching & gathering data about what we’ll need to design a bug hotel for our garden at Cannon! My team has worked hard to make our last challenge of the year meaningful & tightly tied to our TEKS! ♥️🐞🪲🐝♥️ @canSTEM

We loved visiting the #EarthDay story walk, thank you @CannonSTEMReads for setting up this cool activity! We had to get a picture by our page, of course. 🌎♥️ @canSTEM

We took a nature hunt around Cannon to do some field research on common insects found outside for our Bug Hotel Design Challenge. These little scientists took detailed notes of their observations in their design notebooks! @canSTEM

We finished our most recent read aloud-Once Upon a Tim by @AuthorStuGibbs which was a HUGE hit w/ lots of laughs! I used @canva to print a poster w/ interactive areas for shared thinking about setting, BME, character traits & we’ll add persuasive book reviews soon! @canSTEM

We had so much fun doing our measurement math content station in our school garden! We prepared for our Bug Hotel Design Challenge by measuring natural materials in our garden that insects might use as shelter & documented our thinking on @Seesaw! 🐞 🌱 @canSTEM

We practiced our phonics skills today with a fun headband game! Their partner read the sentence on their head band & they write it! They LOVED this game & I loved overhearing “wait-floss rule!” And “hint: you have a vowel team.” 😍😍😍 @canSTEM

Reviewing living & non living by comparing Teddy bears and real bears as a group using a @canva Ven diagram. Canva has SO many great templates! @canSTEM

We brainstormed nature nouns & verbs, then broke into small groups to add to our word banks and compose a poem with our small groups. These groups rocked it! @canSTEM @GCISDELAR
