Last Week
We had a great first week back after Spring Break! The students spent much of their time this week typing their final essays and finishing their posters/visuals for their speeches starting next week. I was very pleased with how well the class stayed on task during these work sessions. It is so great to see them all working on something they are truly interested in. It makes learning so much more fun!
The class also finished the second round of literacy circles. I will spend time this weekend reviewing the packets they turned in. The packets had activities that focused on story elements, parts of grammar and vocabulary development (including synonyms and antonyms).
On Tuesday we had an In and About focused on drama and teambuilding. The students participated in really fun activities that included charade type activities, telephone with gestures instead of words, and an observation game.
Wednesday we returned to the Early Learning Community to read and play with our buddies. The class did a great job of being patient with their little buddies that do have a shorter attention span than they are used to. They started out reading to them and then they had time to play as well. In the future we will be planning some ongoing projects to do with our buddies to finish out the school year.
We started to brainstorm a list of all the things we did this year at school in preparation of Student Led Conferences.
This Week
We will be cramming quite a bit in this week. Monday we will start our speeches and will also go to the library to check out books to read to our buddies at the ELC. Please remind your child to bring their library card. Tuesday we will head out to Pacific University to do some nature water color paintings. We will then have running club. In the afternoon, students will continue speeches. Wednesday we will have Buddy Reading at the ELC, PE at Pacific, speeches and prep time for Student Led Conferences.
