Thanks so much for supporting your child's inquiring mind, creativity and interest in special places in our Montpelier community through the November optional independent learning project. We celebrated just before the Thanksgiving break with an ALL first grade museum tour of projects made by every student. Each student presented their project to peers touring from other classes, explained why it was a special community place to them, how they made it, the materials they used and facts they learned. This was wonderful practice using cooperation and assertion to share information about their own work, and listen to peers explaining their projects, too.
So many students are already working on the December optional independent project: Where in the Word? about maps due December 15th. Please send your child's map and accompanying project materials to school as soon as it is finished. Students will present them to the class, then I will display them on one of our first grade hallway bulletin boards - have fun, and thanks again for your support! As a reminder, this project is again optional.
