Following up with my spiel from earlier in the week about giving everything your personal best, this morning, I posted this definition in our morning message. I pointed out the part about careful consideration especially. Many students have an auto-pilot response instead of truly thinking before they speak.
It was a little chaotic and out-of-the-ordinary with all of the 5th grade kiddos going on their field trip today but we managed to make it work! :) We didn't have meeting but they had all returned in time to work on our building and creations in order to "dream up."
In academic block, we first solved word ladders which allowed us to play with spelling and vocabulary. We even started creating our own and some students used foreign words, too!
Then, we took a second look at the artifacts from yesterday and found out what they really are and how the historians discovered their purposes. We are busy preparing for our archaeologist visit next week!
In math, we continued working on our special number presentations and some kiddos even tried to solve some problems using order of operations as a challenge.
