Funny how being a teacher is viewed so differently by kids. I was given both of these portraits this week (I assume both are supposed to be me!) by a boy and a girl...
Happy Spring...there will be no homework packet next week! I will be sending home a small project instead. If you are lucky enough to check the blog over the weekend, you will have the advantage of 2 more days over the weekend! Here goes:
Career Project
Summative Assessment
Due: May 2, 2008
1. Choose a career. Be specific. (i.e. What kind of doctor?, What kind of teacher, What kind of scientist?)
2. Find your facts by looking on the Internet, reading a book, or by giving an interview.
3. Decorate you poster according to the career you chose. You will have a large white piece…use all space wisely!
4. Write down at least 5 solid facts about your chosen career in complete sentences. I will be looking for sentences that make sense, are capitalized/punctuated and written neatly with no spelling errors. (Hint: If you are a visual learner, look at the finished projects across the hall from our room for an idea of what I am expecting.)
5. Practice reading/telling about your career. We will have all poster presentations on May 2nd and a question & answer session afterwards.
6. Have fun!
*** Also, to begin our new planner on ecology, every 1st grader (and 1st grade teacher!) will be given a bag on Monday to collect all "junk mail" received at your house for 1 week (Monday-Saturday). The following Monday the bag will need to come back to school with all your collected "junk mail" (go ahead and tear in half/shred credit card applications). I'm sure the results will be shocking...
