Grade 1- Friends in the Stars

Grade 1 students have started a new story -- Friends in the Stars.  They are learning to retell and critically think about the story using guiding questions and small group discussions.

Last week, students looked at the stars to see what shapes and "things" they could see.  They then shared their findings in class.  Using the story for assistance, students were able to effectively communicate and discuss the things we see in the stars.
