    The students have been learning about rocks in their first grade science unit. This week they dove deeper into the topic by working at learning centers that involved describing rocks, finding where rocks are located, exploring books about rocks, and sorting rocks by size. The learning target was to sort and compare rocks based on their size. One student, Baxter, has been engaging well with the hands-on activities and enjoying learning about rocks. He has improved at listening skills but still struggles with blurting out. The class received a visit from college students who created additional rock-related activities for the students.

    Hello Mrs. Collins,

    I wanted to touch base on how Baxter is doing with our Rocks unit. We have been working on
    describing and sorting rocks. Baxter has really taken to this unit, he enjoys the hands-on work we are
    doing with rocks. Today our CSU students ran the centers and created activities for the class based on
    the rock unit. He did a great job with sorting and comparing all types of rocks. His listening skills have
    been improving since we started his check in sheet. All day today he was able to do what he was told
    the first time. He is still struggling with blurting out and asking questions before he is called on. Also,
    he loved the rocks so much he had some trouble sharing them with the group. This did give us the
    opportunity to talk about what rocks were our favorites.

    Sincerely,

    Ms. Beliveau
