We had so much fun with our little buddies today! I have taught grade 2/3 many times so I know how imaginative and creative they are at that age. It was so lovely to see how you all interacted with them as they showed you how they played with their center activities. When creating the "stain glass pumpkins" by melting crayon shavings on wax paper you all did an awesome job helping out your little buddies with the scissors and shaving of the crayon part. Remember to brainstorm some ideas of activities that we could do with them in 2 weeks time here at Journey.
At the end of the day today we had a little team meeting outside in front of the big tree. We discussed respect in our classroom as we may have veered off on this trail this past week. We agreed that we need to be kind to one another, treat others the way we want to be treated ourselves, and understand that we are all in this together as a classroom community. I hope that by the end of the week we can feel a positive change in our learning environment.
Today's academic notes:
Div. 4 Math: We watched two short Khan Academy videos that explained how to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve word problems. Your practice worksheet on right triangles and Pythagorean Triples was due this class and we went through the questions and answers on the board together. You completed practice questions on the board which was your "ticket out the door."
Div. 5 English: One chapter to go! We finished chapter 11 and continued to discuss our essential question for this reading. You planned out and organized your thoughts and evidence to support your answer. Next class you will complete an in-class writing assignment based on the question.
