Inventing a backscratcher

Today, Katie taught a lesson in my 1st grade classroom. The students were inventing their very own backscratcher. Yes, 1st graders really enjoyed this lesson! The students began the lesson by brainstorming ideas in groups. Each group drew up a sketch of what they wanted their design to be like. They were extremely creative and used a lot of imagination to create. Katie and the students tested out the different designs and then decided as a class whose design was the best design.
Katie did a great job at teaching this lesson. The students really listened and were engaged in this lesson. She spent a lot of time instructing the students (1st graders need a lot of instruction).
