After studying our unit on living and nonliving things. Students will be assiged to 4 groups. Each group will have a camera. Students in each group will take pictures on the school grounds of living and nonliving things. Students will come in the classroom and we will print out each groups pictures. Each group will take their pictures and mix up the pictures. Each group will go to a different table and sort the pictures into either living or nonliving. After each group has sorted the pictures. They then return back to their table and see if the team sorted them correctly. The group will check to see if the other team was able to put the pictures under the correct heading. Students will then glue pictures either under living or non-living things on a poster.














Extra:If time permits students can work on a powerpoint using their photos. The finished PowerPoint can be shared with other first grade classrooms.
