On July 21 and 22, first grade teachers and librarians from Okte and Skano met to create 8 boxes that will serve dual curricular purposes: They will be used to support the Readers Workshop unit on nonfiction features while also supporting the ECC's for first grade life science.
By the end of day two, each participant was ready to share their work with the others. This school year, both first grade teams will have a set of 8 boxes with titles like "Unusual Plants," "Seeds," "Leaves," "Plant Products," and 4 others. We each made sure to include primary source documents with common nonfiction features, such as photos with captions, labeled diagrams, "kinds of" illustrations, etc.
