| Tyrell shows his sketch of a game board for approval by Max and Jonas |
This afternoon students worked on their reading group projects in small groups of three or four. One group went outside with Amy to create a prologue to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh. As students swung on the playstructure they narrated a creative tale to Amy (this is what Hollywood screenwriters do I thought). Another group wrote cards for questions for a quiz game show on Bridge to Terebithia--they want the host to wear a tux and invent a theme song. One group is filming a commercial, another is making a board game. With the doors were open and activity inside and out, we returned to that quiet, creative humming feeling. After this afternoon, I thought about doing an "arts and crafts" afternoon one day--there would be paints out, clay, origami, etc...and the students could just create.....let me know if you'd be interested in helping set it up. Here are a few more photos.
Homework for tonight is to:
1. Read for thirty minutes.
2. Spelling
Have a good night!
