S.IP.01.11 - Make purposeful observation of the natural world using the appropriate senses.



























Use graphic organizers in your class to help the visual learners. I took a first grade GLCE about the five senses and made a graphic organizer above using the website bubl.us. Graphic organizers can be used in any subject to organize a students notes and information. Plus the learner will be able to picture the information, learn it quickly, and retain it for longer periods of time.

Is school necessarily a place?

Is school necessarily a place??


My definition of school is a place where children make friends, grow, and learn. Can children grow, learn, and make friends outside of the school building? Absolutely! 
Children learn from parents, grandparents, and friends in other homes. When exploring outside and playing pretend children are learning. When a child gets burned by the stove or stung by a bee, he or she is learning what not to do. Children learn at church by listening to their teachers. 
School is not necessarily a place. If we are open to new adventures we will learn something new everyday.
