5th Grade- No class due to Labor Day.
Projects due Sept. 8th. Be ready to share one of your projects.
4th Grade- We began the day by practicing "Active Listeners." The students did a puzzle building activity to thoroughly explore the types of Evaluative Thinking. Next students listen to the book "The Night I Followed my Dog." Students then used Evaluative Thinking (ET) to decide on an animal and an activity the animal would do. They used the animal to create a story. Lastly, we used our" Active Listening" skills to respond to the stories shared. Lastly for the day, we had a logic puzzle and new Hands on Equation lesson. Students learned the white pawn, called "star," is opposite the blue pawn, called "x."
Homework- Complete ET worksheet
3rd Grade- We began with a Snip it of Snoopy and Woodstock. We are getting to know the cartoons in the newspaper and are evaluating them for humor. Students also began a detailed look at humor by working in small groups at stations. Each station looks at different ways humor is a part of our everyday lives. One group created hilarious limericks. Another added text to Garfield comic strips. A third group created skits based on stories that have humor, while the last 2 groups worked on solving jokes that are coded and creating rubrics to assess humorous situations. For HOE students worked on balancing the sides of the equation by getting the "x's" on one side and the numeral on the other, using legal moves.
Homework- Complete ET worksheet
2nd Grade- Students worked hard to solve logic problems following specific rules. They also completed the Evaluative Thinking (ET) activity that the 4th grades worked on. The 2nd graders had fantastic stories as well. Students also set a daily goal and a year long goal. Be sure to read them in the Target Binder.
