Building a community with games :)

Today we had a good amount of fun with just the right amount of work :) The kids might think we do too much math but we will agree to disagree on that.

A big part of my teaching philosophy is centered around building a learning community and you can't be a member of a good community without knowing your neighbours. We did a little TRIBES activity called Extended Name Tags. After they were done filling out their name tags with information like their favorite holiday location or quality they think is most important to have they shared with small groups and then the class.

We practiced word problems in math and wrote a review of our recently finished NERDS Book 1. The kids loved the book and some of their reviews will be posted tomorrow. We will be changing the Hero's Tale section of the site to a book review section. We are excited about the changes and the kids opinions on best parts were really fun to read.

We are starting to design a playground tomorrow in Science which should be interesting. Wish us luck!

Cheers,

Mr.G
