Wake
up Work and Logic today had a holiday theme. The students needed to come up
with words, other than a proper noun, using the letters from the words “Merry
Christmas Friends”. This activity proved to be difficult from some students. We
will be working on some more Boggle type activities in the coming weeks to
strengthen the student’s “word smarts”. Students finished their writing
assignment and worked on their presentation skills as they presented their
letters to the class. I love seeing their creativity! Students completed a
holiday themed STEM activity where they worked in groups. Each group was given
a brown lunch bag containing a container of green playdough, 20 regular straws
and 5 bendy straws. They were given the task of building the tallest free
standing Christmas tree. It took us two rounds to get some groups with a
Christmas tree type figure. The students enjoyed some extra Think Fun time
during our Holiday celebration. Thank you to those that sent in a treat to
share! J
