This week begins my journey into the world of Second grade. I will be attending my first day of this semester's clinical on Wednesday! I am nervous and excited! I will have to come back and let you all know how my first day went. In the mean time, I have just finished my first work job assignment, and it turned out pretty good I think!
I created this work job for a 1st grade class. It is a game to focus on the civics and governments strand of the social studies standards. In this game, the children will have to match the correct symbol under the correct heading. I saw a similar idea on Pinterest, except it used other countries symbols instead of Illinois. I decided that it is very important for children to know the symbols of Illinois as well as the United States symbols. I think this work job could tie into other things too. For the state and national birds and animals, we could study habitats and learn where these animals live. We could study the geography of the United States and Illinois Maps. We could graph the Bears wins and losses; SO many ideas! All of them would link back to these important symbols for the children to learn.
Enjoy your week my friends!
