February 17, 2015

What a beautiful sunny day we had today. The weather was great outside, and the learning was great inside! Here's what we did today:

1. OE: We did a journal entry on what we thought the greatest invention in the world was. They had to explain why they thought that was the greatest invention. Some students even wrote about a new invention that they made up.
2. Bible: We talked a bit about the time between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
3. WW: We took a little break from Poetry to try a new writing strategy. Each student got a blank piece of paper. They then had to write a one-word topic in the middle (eg. ice-cream, sports, animals, snow, oceans, jungle, etc.). They then had 8 minutes to brainstorm as many words as possible that related to their topic. After they had all their ideas, they had to organize their ideas so they could use them to write a paragraph. They did an excellent job at this.
4. HACE: We learned about respect today--what that looks like when we respect others, but also when we show self-respect.
5. Library: With Mrs. McNutt.
6. PE: We played California Kick Ball.
7. Science: We continued to learn about Structures and Materials.
