Magic Wands

Magic Wands
1st Grade 

First graders began this investigation by looking closely at images of artifacts from around the world.  In small groups, students talked about what they saw and made inferences about what the object was, why it was made, and who made it.  Many students thought these items looked important or powerful, due to their shape, color, and adornment.  Students then combined natural and man-made materials to create their own powerful object- a magic wand!  They imagined spells and created spell books.  Finally, students illustrated magical pictures of their spells in action!

 If you had a magic wand, what would you do?
