OK...so here is what today looked like.
Period 1 we picked our favourite super powers for red light. Then we had a circle, discussed the great Kiva that's developing in our classroom and how we can continue to build upon it.
Next, we read a chapter from Wayside. Then we unfortunately took a step backwards with building our up our independent reading stamina. We could only read for 4:38 today before some people got distracted! Better luck tomorrow.
Period 2 we really 'rocked' the Writer's workshop. We made up a list of things we're experts about and some of the kids wrote about those expertise.
Period 3 we finally played Sum It Up...we need to review 'good partner skills'...but for the most part we got there.
Period 4 we did our first STEM challenge...I put the kids into groups of 4 or 5...then with 5 sheets of tinfoil, 25 pipe cleaners and all the glue and tape they wanted, they had to design something. The kids for the most part worked very well together...lots of compromising.
Period 5, because the kids worked so well...and begged all day, we had some time to explore math Prodigy. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of 'can I play math prodigy' tonight.
Period 6 Mr.s Haynes had them for music.
NOTE: Grade 4's have a permission form going home tonight for the Ancaster Rocks and Mineral show....
