Boundary Breaker: What is the best gift you've ever given. Explain.
For third graders today...
- We worked on using our sources to write notes highlighting discoveries about our cultural universals in the civilization of our choice. These notes were recorded in our interactive notebooks in our own words to lay the foundation for our research placards. Next week we plan to begin on some artifact design!
- We revisited the Land of Treble, this time looking at subtraction in base 3.
For second graders (and new third graders) today...
- We added to our numbers and got to take a look at some of the staples of our ALERT classroom. We were introduced to what it means to be in the program and why they are here.
- We met the Nerds, our mascots of creativity, and learned the four parts of creative thinking with our doodle activity.
- We also looked at Art Costa's Habits of Mind as strategies to grow as successful learners. We played Habits of Mind Bingo to get familiar with the set of skills. Throughout the year we will focus on these individually as students build their talents.
- Follow this link to a post that will explain some of our classroom elements in greater detail.
