Year 1 students need much first hand experience to add richness to their lives and to give them ideas for their language and writing. During my practicum I helped to add to their experience by performing hands-on experiments with the students, which we used as a basis for our daily writing assignments. Two such experiments were making Hokey Pokey and the Catch a Rainbow. The students ohhed and ahhed as we performed the steps of the experiments and were dazzled at the results. Both of these were very visual and even delicious and the students got a lot out of the experiences.
Notice the principal of the school watching, I think she was impressed, as well.
