Grade Ones Take Me To The Jungle!

Last week when I was Ecole St. Eustache, the wildly creative Grade One class took me deep, deep into the jungle…with their imaginations!

Using our Five Senses – Seeing, Hearing, Touching, Tasting and Smelling – we created a whole jungle out of words on a special 5 Senses Web. Here is a picture:

The Grade Ones included very imaginative ideas that made all of our senses tingle. The imaginary jungle included rosey flowers, golden coconut, blue parrots, birds flapping, and wet grass. (WOW! I feel like I’m there right now!)

There were many other ideas shared in class for this jungle – so many that I couldn’t even write them all down on the whiteboard! Afterward, the Grade Ones went to their desks and made their own 5 Senses Webs for the stories they were planning. They made webs for farms, around the house, the Arctic, the ocean, and more. It was amazing!

Keep going with your writing and your creative ideas! (And look for another blog post about our time together and the time spent with other classes at Ecole St. Eustache coming soon!)
