Have you been on the live eagle cam yet??? (Avon Lake Eagle Cam) It's hard to get off once you turn it on. This picture is from Sunday, April 7th. Case even made a nest, eggs and eagle out of paper-such an Action Taker! Jenesis brought in this book and said, "Mrs. Humphrey this book has information on how time and technology changes communities!" So proud of her for taking Action by remembering our central idea and then wanting to share it with her classmates. Fuel for Thought Friday was a quote about Spring. Their perspectives and ability to articulate what these quotes mean to them are just amazing. This week they did their summative by choosing an object and explaining how time and technology have changed and its affects on the community. Throwback Thursday really had them inquiring. This is when they write about what they See, Think and Wonder. Some thought it was a storage compartment like a folder, or a cassette tape and even a CD player. After they found out what it was (a floppy disk) we discussed why this object has changed over the years. We took our Math on the road by going to the Kindergarten lunch period and doing some research by gathering data to make tables, picture and bar graphs. I don't know if you heard but I had a little bit of fun with them on April Fools Day. They were teasing me all morning so I decided to tease them a little bit in the afternoon with an impossible word search and them some brownies (brown E's!!) I wish you could've been there to hear them do the word search. I did bring them real brownies on Tuesday though:) They made these in Mandarin this week to be used in a project-can't wait to see what it is?! Beatrice took action by bringing in a jug of water for us to carry so we could see how heavy it is and to try and see how it might feel to have to carry it in order to get clean water. Case nursing students came in and taught us lessons to help us deal with our feelings in positive and healthy ways. They did some breathing techniques, charades, and schedule making to give them ideas and ways to deal with stress and managing their feelings. Second Graders in Mr. Morris and Ms. English's Classes performed their fables for us. We performed The Country Mouse and the City Mouse for the other Second Grade classrooms and for Kindergarten lunch. They did a great job setting up the scenes using props and making background scenery to go with their fable. Ask them what the moral of the story was for all the fables on that day? I had the students do a See, Think, Wonder on a picture that I had teachers inquire about during a training I did to discuss some of their similarities and differences as inquirers. Amir brought in a treat to celebrate his birthday. We took them outside during our break and the students really loved them. I stopped by the 2020 Art Gallery owned by a CIS student's father to check out and support the art work on display from our 3rd graders. He also has lessons for students and fun nights for adults too.
