Sprouting into Second

This reflection sheet can be used after reading The Math Curse aloud. Students reflect on their own experiences with math. This can be used at the beginning of the year to help students think about themselves as mathematicians as well as any time throughout the year.

This graphic organizer can be used with any type of photograph or primary source. Students examine a photograph and record what they see/observe without inferences. Then students reflect and write what they think their observation means. Finally, students record what they are wondering about the photograph.

This graphic organizer can be used to plan out any fictional character for fictional narratives. It helps to organize ideas when naming a character, describing the character and thinking about possible adventures for stories based on the character traits. It aligns well with the TCRWP first grade fictional narrative unit, From Scenes to Series.
