Grade 1 students have been doing a phenomenal job blogging so far this year. For the most part, first graders post a photo of their work and then type a sentence about what they learned or give more information about the image. Mrs. Hellgeth decided that her students were ready to extend the types of sentences they included in their blog post. So, her class explored and practiced making reflective blog posts. They were exposed to ways you could be a reflective thinker by asking themselves one of the three questions below:
1. How has my thinking changed?
2. What do I know, but what am I still unsure about?
3. Why is this new learning important?
Here is the lesson
