My Project

In our first-grade classroom, we will explore three distinct science units and aim to utilize an interactive portfolio to record and showcase our projects.

We will utilize these portfolios to delve into units like habitats with innovative concepts, recording our discoveries, and making notes on growth in the process.

The TPT gift card will help me purchase supplemental materials to use alongside our district curriculum and to add to their interactive portfolios. The construction paper will be used to make the portfolios and scientific models. The highlighters will used to annotate the data in the nonfiction text passages.
