Outdoor Breaks

Coach Cameron led us in some group exercises during our outdoor break on Thursday of this week.

Classroom Jobs

Each student in our classroom has a job. The jobs change each week and were created by the students. The coach leads us in afternoon exercises. Ask your student what their job was this week and what his or her responsibilities were.

Indoor Recess

Students are usually disappointed when they have to stay in for recess but this class is making the best of it! They are working collaboratively on puzzles, building with Legos, and playing games like Connect Four and Jenga. Lost in Oz, an animated series on Amazon prime, plays on the screen for students who want to watch.

Writing

After students decorated their writing notebooks, they began to write their stories. Some like fiction, some nonfiction but all are inspired by their own lives, experiences and passions, and they all LOVE to share.

Collecting Weather Data

So far, students have practiced using rain gauges and snow sticks. We collected an inch and a half of rain in the rain gauge outside of our classroom between Friday and today. We can't wait to see what this evenings and tomorrow's rain will bring.

Focused on Learning

Students in 3K are learning to stay focused during whole group lessons. We talk about whole body listening and using self control to keep our brains thinking about the topic.

Math Practice

After introducing a new skill or concept to the whole class, we break into groups, partners or work independently to apply what we have learned to new problems.
