This past week was a short one with Thursday and Friday being half days due to Parent Conferences. Looking back at all we accomplished, I was there and I don't know how we did it! I thought about splitting this into separate posts but the pattern of this blog is to post highlights from the week, so... here goes.
Early in the week the group who had been rehearsing a Reader's Theater version of Strega Nona performed for the class. From there, we channeled our excitement for great books into learning how to give Book Talks- telling a friend the main idea of a book , perhaps highlighting an exciting part, and letting the friend know how you'd rate the book from 1 (not for me) to 5 (so good I want to read it again and again!). Have a look at Book Talks in action.
More partner work happened in Math this week. Take a look at pairs of friends working together to measure tape paths with popsicle sticks as the unit of measure.
To finish up, here's a look at our first lego robotics session with Cailin's dad, Paul in the lead. His expertise in robotics and design propelled us into building and programming in four collaborative teams in no time flat! We can't wait to continue. Before the day ended we found a little time to unwind with Cosmic Kids Yoga.
