Making acting believable, portfolios, and fall fun!
Making acting believable, portfolios, and fall fun!
It was so nice to have the 1st graders back in the GATE classroom this week! Our morning sessions were spent working on acting skills. We explored how an actor has to use their five senses to convince the audience that they are really experiencing what they are pretending. After morning recess, we tested how believable our skills were with a game of Reverse Charades, where the whole group acts and a pair has to guess what they are acting like.
After lunch, students updated their digital portfolios with a new page showcasing their Innovation Journals. Then we had a small fall party with bingo and a costume design contest! We finished the day with Free Choice where students chose to use their maker boxes, experiment with tangram blocks, and play Battleship!
UPCOMING: There will be no GATE the week of November 29-December 3.

ISO: OLD iPHONES AND iPADS
We are looking for your old iphones and ipads. Any iOS 11 or higher devices can be added to the district technology management system. These devices will be used in conjunction with the app DRONEBLOCKS to allow students to code our classroom drones. Additionally, they are complimentary to our lessons on photography, cooking show video productions, stop motion animation and so much more!ISO: OLD iPHONES AND iPADS
