Today we celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Our class enjoyed performing readers theaters to most classrooms K-7. By the end of the day, the kids were performance experts! They did great! We having some technical difficulties getting the videos uploaded....I'm hoping they'll be coming soon! :)
They also wrote in their journals about why Martin Luther King, Jr. was special.
We are also looking forward to the 100th day of school on Friday. We've started working on a few 100's day activities. Today, we solved some math problems with numbers. We answered things like: what number is 10 more than 74, or one less than 56, or between 35 and 37, or has 2 tens and 3 ones. The kids enjoyed completing this with partners, and then they found a mystery picture in a 100's chart with the numbers that they solved!
Opportunities like this make it great to be a PK-12 building. The younger students get so many opportunities to work with older students and vice versa. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo many times, we forget WHY we are teaching. It is just as important for the children to lean about peacemakers as great wars. This unit drove home that we need to love and educate one another. Great thinkers are able to see NEW ways of solving problems.
