Other things going on last week included:
- Students busy working on their computation and fractions unit in math
- continued individual novel studies and response journals
- using iPads to explore the world during brain breaks
- receiving more postcards: from Ohio, Scotland and Russia! We will be sending more next week.
- studying cooperative games and beginning an UNO competition!
- measuring and graphing out beans' growth. many of us discovered that not all living things last forever - some made their way to the heavens of Bean-opia! Great opportunity to write down some observations of too much water, not enough water, non enough sunlight etc. All students with a living bean plant made the decision to move it to the windowsill.
- Be began out social circles - tapping into our emotions (and our drama skills) with thermometer check
- individual art projects during "make-it" time, using our many art discoveries from the cupboard (beading, sparkle paint, door hangers, to name a few)
Upcoming: our weekly science experiments and observations unit. Our first experiment will be BLOBS in a BOTTLE! Stay tuned for photos!
Too bad some bean sprouts didn't make it! I was hoping for news of a giant beanstalk soon! UNO is a great game - tournament sounds like lots of fun! ...Ms Thomson
