As part of the first grade social studies unit, we have been learning about the helpers at our school. The first graders generated as many "helpers" as they could think of in our school community. Then we wrote questions that we would want to ask them if we had the opportunity to interview these helpers.
The first helper we interviewed was our very own Troy School District Superintendent, Dr. Machesky. He came to visit Bemis Elementary's first graders and was interviewed about his role as a helper in our school community. What a treat to ask him our questions and hear his thoughts!
The next Bemis helper we interviewed was Mr. Whan, our school principal. The first graders asked thought-provoking questions and showed what great thinkers they are becoming.
We also watched an interview of our Bemis secretaries, Mrs. Barry and Mrs. Clifford. The questions asked during the interview were written by first graders.
The first graders thought about each of our specials teachers and how they are helpers in our school as well. We used the chalk talk thinking routine to give everyone a chance to share their thinking about these helpers in our school.
