4th Case Study - Telling Someone Else's Story

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Alex Haley

We started our 4th case study, "Telling Someone Else's Story".  We visited Lincoln Meadows just down the road in Parker.  Students were patient, kind and respectful as they listened to their new "grand friend" tell a small story from their life. 

So much joy was brought to Lincoln Meadows because of the great first grade crew of FCE!  Back at school, we listened to the recorded story on the i-pads and started taking notes.   We wrote our first draft of our grand friend's story and collaborated with both Ms. Rivera's crew and Mrs. Lysinger's crew to ensure that we got all the details.






We have returned for our second visit to revise our grand friend's story.  Each first grader shared the written story and the grand friend gave any additional feedback or details to improve the story.  Based upon the time spent with the grand friend, we were able to each revise their story.

We are now working hard on a high quality portrait of our grand friend.  We are doing multiple drafts and spending time to make sure that it is our best work.  We look forward to returning to Lincoln Meadows to share our hard work and perform our special songs to them.
