Kid Pix |
In Social Studies, first grade students learned about feelings and how
all people express their feelings through their facial expressions,
words and actions. Students used Kid Pix to draw a self portrait
and add words to show all the feelings that they can have.
In Science, first grade students learned about living and non-living
things. They learned about the criteria for being a living
being. Using Kid Pix, students sorted stamps to show things that
are living and non-living. This example even shows deeper thinking: a
dinosaur which once was living but now is not and several pieces of
fruit which were living while on their plant but are no longer living
once they are picked.

Kidspiration

In Math, first grade students were learning about how to create and
read graphs. Students completed a simple survey to collect data
from their classmates about a pet they would like to have. They
used the data to create a graph in Kidspiration to create a simple
picture graph.
In Social Studies, first grade students were learning about their role
as a citizen of their country. They were learning that being a
citizen, you have roles and responsibilities. Using what they
learned in class, students used Kidspiration to create a simple bubble
map showing things that good citizens would do.

All first grade students read and learned to highlight important facts
in a simple article. They then created a bubble map with
important details from their research.

First Grade GT students chose a country to research. They had
specific criteria for their research. They used a website called
CultureGrams to find most of the information. Some information
was found from other websites. They then took their research and
created a PowerPoint presentation when they presented to their
classmates.
