Texas+Symbols+Showdown+1st+Grade

This Video Conference is for any 1st grade teacher in the district. You will be creating a short poem to describe a Texas symbol. You will then read your poem to another class in the district via the video conferencing cart and that class will try to guess which symbol you are describing. Look at the attached file. It has the information you will need to get started. If you are interested, please sign up below for a time. You can find a partner on your own and have them sign up with you or wait and see if another teacher adds his/her name to the list.
