What a yucky weather Tuesday.
Here is what today should look like:
Period 1 we started our first day of 'flexible seating'. We came up with these rules as a class:
1. Pick a good 'learning spot' for you (be responsible)
2. New spot and new partner each day.
3. Work as a good community member to take care of our classroom (keeping the desk empty and clean...putting away materials...including/helping others).
4. Mr. Cross has the right to move anyone, at any time for any reason

Period 2 was reader's/writer's workshop.
Period 3 we're going to do some probability experiments...looking at the odds of certain events occurring (spinning a certain number).
Period 4 we have the computers. The Grade 4's are going to do some research on their ancient civilization project they started last week with Mrs. Flindall. The Grade 3's are going to explore this website in partners to investigate the parts of a plant (http://extension.illinois.edu/gpe/gpe.html).
Period 5 I'm hoping to have a closing community circle...talk about our first day of flexible seating (what worked, what didn't) and maybe play a few community games (heads up, seatball).
Period 6 Mrs. Haynes has them for music.
NOTE: Permission forms went home yesterday for both Grades for our field trip to RBG...they're on a yellow piece of paper.
