We are going to have a fantastic week. Today was brilliant, actually let me correct myself, the students were brilliant. In math we tried a little activity to see where we were all at in addition and more specifically mental math. So many different ways to solve the problem were presented all individually unique and all correct. I had a room of 20 mathamagicians all working towards a common goal and all sharing their strategies and ideas with each other. It was a great tool to see where we needed to go next and they loved it.
In Social Studies we had a great conversation about Free the Children and Doctors without Borders. It was amazing seeing the kids talk and think among their group shocked that there are people in the world who would require these groups to improve their quality of life. We are looking at raising money for the Philippines and this was a great way to spark their desire to help. One student even told me they are donating money instead of getting tons of presents this year because they have enough stuff already. Great way to start the week. Hope yours was just as good.
