Finished up Shark Week last Friday with S presentations on a variety of sharks. They were so proud to share what they learned & I was so impressed with their speaking skills as they shared. They made great slides & even added videos and music to their slides!

Do you know the difference between a canyon and a geyser? My kids do! Just one of the many discoveries they made today as they began their virtual field trip to Yellowstone National Park! Next best thing to being there! 🦬🏕🏜

Our research on Sharks is going “swimmingly!” Ss are collecting information to prep for writing their essays & for presentations. I love to hear them say, “Did you know...,” to their partners and to me when they just can’t wait to tell me what they’ve learned!

It’s Shark Week! @AshMMiller and I transformed our rooms into shark tanks for standards review, research projects, and FSA Math prep! The kids loved it!

We’ve had the Greatest Show this week so far! Started w This or That where pros & cons of trapeze vs tightrope were hashed out. Then, Ss annotated, organized, & integrated info from 2 texts on PT Barnum to summarize learning. 🎪😃 @AshMMiller @MCPS_Sunrise

Today’s Elf Game was antler ring toss! Ss responded to comprehensions tasks in order to play. So much excitement after working so hard! 🎄@MCPS_Sunrise

...Then, Ss worked in house groups for 2 minutes-1 minute to plan & 1 minute to build-the tallest cup tree. The winning house won by 1 cup! They supported each other during stations and cheered each other on during the build. What an awesome group of kids! ⁦@MCPS_Sunrise⁩

Before our Elf game today, Ss traveled to stations in the room to review Figurative Lang., Elements of Poetry, & Text Structures... ⁦@MCPS_Sunrise⁩

Need any speedy gift wrapping done? These kiddos had 4 minutes to plan and wrap a very odd shaped item with a piece of paper and 3 small pieces of tape! Yay for Viribus! They got it done in less than a minute! 🎄@AshMMiller @mcps

Ss collaborated w partners to explain structural elements of poetry on @nearpod open-ended questions, as well as I’d theme & character traits. Of course, this close to Halloween, we used the Sorting Hat poem & the lyrics to Monster Mash. No Tricks-just Treats! @MCPS_Sunrise

Ss developed their own graphic organizers to note evidence from the text to use when writing to describe a setting in depth. They did a great job with their description of Gringotts...and they didn’t even use their wands! @MCPS_Sunrise @jk_rowling
