One reading group created a dynamic gameshow, Show Your Terebithian pictured here. Contestants answered forty questions (tiered by difficulty) about the book/movie. |
It’s been a busy, emotional second half of the week due to issues that came up around Spanish class and some parent/admin meetings focused on the best way to empower students to express their concerns. Not to overshadow the positives: successful reading group projects, big and little buddies creating beautiful Valentine’s cards for administrators and staff to name a couple; next week students will break into Westward Movement “families” to start their journey West (after "buying" food and supplies) and begin Bound for Oregon in new reading groups. Pictures from the reading group presentations. Next week I'll try to post some of the movie and recorded projects.
I just wanted to mention that we’re doing Valentine’s Day as a low key event this year. If students wish to make cards, they should try to do so for the whole class. Click here for a class list.
Have a nice, restful weekend!
By the way...at the end of January, students created stories with their buddies and I just found four pictures you can see here.
