The A day students worked hard today! They should be really proud of their efforts! At the start of our day, we reviewed where we were on their future goals paragraph. Everyone was able to complete their rough draft before our morning lab time. Once on the computers, they really listened well and jumped right into their typing. Using Microsoft Word as our tool, they were all able to complete typing their paragraph. Along the way, we learned to space appropriately between words and after punctuation, right click to correct spelling errors and to save and print our documents. Bravo boys and girls!
After recess and lunch, the students worked to finish their construction paper head. They are excited to share them with you at our Open House on October 6th.
The students were excited to begin their new Exploratory area today. First, however, we needed to review/learn to fill out our Exploratory contract. They will use it as an organizational tool to document their choices and weekly progress. With over ninety centers and hundreds of tasks from which to choose, it would be impossible to individualize the students without it.
Once their contract was completed, they began the knowledge level thinking task. In the weeks ahead, each student will complete the knowledge and comprehension level tasks plus at least one other higher level thinking task before moving on to another center. Most centers will take between six and eight weeks to complete three to four tasks. Ask your child to share what they are hoping to complete at their center.
Tell them to keep up the good work! Have a great weekend!
