#grade2 students explored a variety of ‘how to’ texts and shared what they noticed before we dove into learning to write some of our own. #writing#literacy
Today we implemented #flexibleseating .
Two rules:
1) It must be safe
2) You must be getting your work done
My #grade2 s were happier and more productive. #winwin
Today we talked about captions. We learned they are a text feature found in some non-fiction texts. Then students got to choose a picture from a magazine to write a caption for. #grade2#captions#textfeatures
#grade1 students had a rich discussion about our shared responsibility to care for the land and water and what Mother Earth gives us #landacknowledgmentwork
Kids have been off the wall. I recently read a quote, ‘they can’t be off the walls if there aren’t any’. I decided today what we needed wasn’t to plow through more work, we needed to make memories. We went outside and played soccer. No regrets. #grade1#buildrelationships
We started our #patterning unit by going on a patterns scavenger hunt. Today students worked in pairs to describe the patterns they found. #grade1#math
