It's Tuesday, period 2...so I'm going to do some 'predicting' for today.
Period 1 was amazing. We had Mrs. Perks with us, and we looked at and discussed different dances from around the world.
We looked closely at these 5 dances:
Irish Jig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgGAzBDE454
Scotland Highland Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCibA4BD20s
Russian Cossack Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7MYUP_rGWE
Spanish Flamenco Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNhfV_53W7A
Maori-Haka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI851yJUQQw
The kids were very interested and led to a lot of great discussion.
Period 2 Mrs. Smith taught us science.
Period 3 we're going to the Library to work with Mrs. Youngblut, the Ozobots and literacy. The goal is to get the kids to write descriptive paragraphs of where the Ozobots will go...then code them to do so!
Period 4 I will introduce the concept of Area in Math.
Period 5 we'll do our weekend round up (a little later than usual) and we'll have our Literacy block (reader's/writer's workshop).
Period 6 I am hoping to do some art where we focus on negative and positive space.
***The cultural dances really seemed to hook the kids. Please feel free to investigate this further at home with your children. Any information or links to videos of your family's heritage/cultural 'dance(s)' would be very welcomed***
Love the cultural dances. Im not sure if Miliana shared or not, but she actually does Serbian Folklore dancing. ill send you a video from one of her performances later today (as long as shes ok with it haha)
