This year I have a bonus period with our first graders, and I am free to craft a new curriculum for (with?) them. What I'd like to do all year long is explore, experience, and create. We're starting with Zoobs. They have been sorting, naming, and discovering how each piece moves and works in relation to each other. So far they have been making creations of their own design in order to get a feel for the Zoobs, and to develop some background knowledge. Coming up soon they will be given tasks, and asked to find solutions using the Zoobs. They typically work in teams, and do a lot of "thinking out loud". I'm looking forward to a great year with these boys!
