Hope, warmth, patience, love, joy, peace, and awe- just a few of the words that come to mind when we think about Advent and Christmas. The girls did a beautiful job capturing their memories and feelings. Take a look at their
Animotos.
Can we work with a partner? Can you make this collaborative? Can you put this online? If I had a dollar for every time I hear these questions...... With collaboration, teamwork, and creativity being essential skills for
school and beyond, I guess I should embrace the girls' eagerness to work together to create and publish their work. And on the other hand, the girls know it's ok when they prefer to go off on their own and work independently on a project. Here is their Three Word Thursday:
The girls are working on their historical fiction book report project. They are illustrating and writing about key events and including literary elements such as setting and conflict. The final project will be a three dimensional dodecahedron that can also be used as a literary Christmas ornament.
Lots of work with fractions this week. The girls are adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators and showing their answers in simplest form. They are writing and talking about fractions and demonstrating real understanding. Every week we play the game, "Which one doesn't belong?" It's fascinating listening to their math reasoning when they give their explanation. Which one would you choose?
