Just getting started

I am just getting started but first I would like to back track to what has happened this year in first grade!
So here is what we did this year...
In October we were given gourds. This is what the students did with them.








When they first came into class they had to put them on one table. I took photos of them and printed them out. I gave a student a photo (not their photo but someone else). We called the project "Mystery Gourd". In their journals they had to write about their photo and describe their "Mystery Gourd". They also had to guess whose gourd they thought it was! It helped them get familiar with each other, this is at the end of September, and they had to use descriptive words. They LOVED it!!!
