I had a rough week that ended with barely a voice... some said I sounded like a man while others thought I sounded more like a robot. Either way, it is not very fun nor easy to teach without my main instrument.

Thursday--In meeting, we shared what we like best about field trips and the consensus was that it was getting out of the building and doing something different. We also had a "controversial" discussion about video games in preparation for our electronic party. I have always shared that I do not like how blasé they are talking about "kills" and weapons with Fortnite and Rainbow and other games. We agree to disagree. I shared that I did not want them playing Fortnite for our electronic party which caused some big dissonance with some. We finally looked up the ages on the games and decided that only games for their age were allowed at the party. 4th grade kiddos worked on their citizenship/civic participation project and then met with their teaching group to plan for their math lesson. We ended the day discussing prioritizing our time and organizing using the calendar app on our ipads.

Friday--We began with an Arrow team meeting where we played pictionary! Next, 4th grade worked on our citizenship projects and practiced for our math lessons. 5th grade students continued their work with Journey North, book groups (some are reading what they call, "Willie Shakes" even! *Shakespeare) and light. During recess, we had a ton of fun in the gym playing Gaga, Just Dance, ping pong and corn hole. Our day concluded with our electronics party!
