@Amplify#ckla Domain 8- Habitats is a wrap! Students worked with a team to research, write, and represent the plants, animals, water, and climate of habitats. I am impressed with their creativity and so proud of their team work! #iamkckps#iteachfirst
Wrapping up @Amplify#CKLA Domain 7- History of the Earth with creation of brachiosaurus skeletons out of pasta. These learners LOVED learning about what our Earth is made of! #iamkckps#iteachfirst

2/3 of the way through @Amplify#ckla Domain 5: Early American Civilizations! We took some time during our pausing point today to create chinampas- Aztec "floating" gardens. We had a blast! #iamkckps#iteachfirst
Today was our first day of culminating activities for @Amplify#CKLA Domain 4: Early World Civilizations! Students first described the shape of ziggurats and pyramids, then created them out of centimeter cubes, spaghetti, and marshmallows! #iamkckps#iteachfirst
For our @Amplify#CKLA Domain 4: Early World Civilizations pausing points, we did directed draws of ziggurats, and practiced the vocabulary word "trade" by working with our friends to "trade the rainbow." #iamkckps#iteachfirst
We've been a *little* busy in first grade, so I got behind on our updates! We finished @Amplify#ckla Domain 3: Different Lands, Similar Stories in mid-October by creating "passports" hilighting the flags of the countries we visited #iamkckps#iteachfirst
Pausing point fun! My students LOVE maps, so #CKLA@Amplify Domain 3: Different Lands, Similar Stories has been a hit! We created individual maps they could take home to show their families and share what they've learned! #iamkckps#iteachfirst
Our Skills "Operating Room" included practice with digraphs, segmenting words, identifying vowel sounds, writing around the room, and sorting nouns. What a great day!
Our review of body systems prepared us for the big event- Doctor Day! Students put their #knowledge of @Amplify#CKLA Domain 2- The Human Body to the test! We had two separate "Operating Rooms"- one for knowledge and one for skills. Here's a peek into the Knowledge OR! #iamkckps
Wrapping up @Amplify#CKLA Domain 2- The Human Body! We started by reviewing body systems with life-sized models. The rooms only slightly looked like crime scenes π #iteachfirst
We had a great day retelling some of our favorite folktales and fables using paper-bag puppets we made! It was a great way to end our @Amplify CKLA Domain 1. Can you guess what stories we retold today? #ckla#iteachfirst
@taterbaterbug My mom had an ambulance ride this winter. It's "out of network." Which begs the question- who does the Unified Govt of Wyandotte County consider in network? Apparently, only Medicare and medicaid. Any other insurance is out of network. How is this legal???
We've reached the first pausing point of @Amplify CKLA Domain 10: A New Nation in first grade! Each "colony" (table group) made a flag to represent their colony. Lots of creativity! #iteachfirst#iamkckps
