Monday September 21st

 Happy Monday everyone,


Here is what today looked like: 

Period 1 and 2:

We worked on our 'cubist trees' first thing.  Then we did a short 'Weekend Round Up'.  Not a lot of students wanted to share today.  Then we moved on to writing.  Today we looked at several famous author's and their 'writing spaces' and talked about our 'ideal' writing places.  Then we wrote about it.


Periods 3 and 4 we had math and the class worked well.  We played a couple of place value games:

Then played 'Roll it, count it, cover it':

(some kids only felt comfortable with tens and ones, other's tried the challenge of using hundreds too)

We finished by trying the following worksheets...most kids finished.

Period 5 we talked a bit about 'fair isn't always equal' and what that means.  Then we did some mindfulness deep breathing activities.  For the last little bit of time we went outside.

Period 6 Mrs. Haynes had them for music outside.
