This time of year (with Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Fourth of July around the corner) we start to learn about our country and the symbols that represent our freedom, democracy, and our nation. The children learn songs that they will perform during our Flag Day show and we get to partner up with Mrs. Groden in the library to work on a research project that we call the First Grade Wonder Project! Our Wonder Project helps us research, write, and share all we have learned about the American Symbols!
This is a very hands on project. Children work in groups of 2. They pick a symbol and use an online research tool called Pebble Go and library resources to learn about a symbol. They take notes, write a short paragraph, draw a picture and share their learning using an I Pad slide show app.
Here is a sneak peak at our hard work so far!
