Scale Drawing - School Yard

We are completing a scale drawing of our school yard (due Monday December 20). We will be using these to plan designs for The Big Project school yard re-design.

We measured our pace length and then paced out all the features in the school yard. Several students realized that a sketch was very helpful to record important dimensions.

Leadership Project - Grade 2 Teaching Reflections

Our focus on building our leadership skills continues. Today we are teaching grade 2 students in Ms. Cooper's class how to make the 3D stars. The grade 2 students have recently learned how to use a ruler to measure so we will be leveraging those skills as we teach them the steps to creating the stars.

It was amazing to see the engagement, focus and strategies students used with their grade 2 partners. Following our experiences today, we will be reflecting on our strengths and struggles so we can improve our leadership skills.

Podcast Project Learning

I love this photo!

I asked students to share, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much they have learned over the past 4 weeks. You can see that most students are holding up 10 fingers!

We started by learning how to ask open-ended questions and how to be a good conversationalist. We learned the structure and elements of podcasts and designed our own podcast logos. We learned how to use Anchor to edit and produce our podcasts.

This project is due next week.

Assigned Work Update

Over the past 2 months, we have been working on many engaging projects and assignments. Chloe, Will, Bannon, Jersey and Macy are the only students who are completely up to date. They should be proud of the initiative, responsibility and leadership that they show every day.

In this screen capture, you can see a complete list of work that students are responsible for. As always, assignment descriptions, notes and all relevant materials are posted in our Google classroom.
