Everybody Has A Story

Our first learning expedition is under way! 

The title of our first learning expedition is Everybody Has a Story.   

Our essential question is:  How do the stories in our lives help us learn about each other?

We kicked off this expedition with our first visit from our story teller, Mrs. Judy Hill.  She is a Spellbinder from Douglas County Library.   She will be visiting our classroom every month.  Mrs. Hill is a master at oral story telling, integrating song and reading books that keep first graders attention.  We have loved sharing our brown bags, listening to the stories of others and listening to the stories of important Fox Creek staff (Ms. Angel, specials teachers, etc.)  We are now persevering to do a high quality self portrait.  We worked with our 4th grade buddy to get some kind, specific, helpful feedback on our first draft.

Our learning targets for this expedition are:

I can describe myself using details.

I can actively listen to others.

I can describe and apply the story elements in narrative writing.

I can persevere to do high quality work.
