1st/2nd/3rd Gifted

Today we had fund with our creative juices as we did our number drawings. The students were given a number and an item that they had to incorporate into their drawing. Our logic and wake up work got our brains thinking, working and using our problem solving skills.

We spent the bulk of our day working on our projects. The 3rd graders finished working on their planning sheets and planning out their civilization. Next week they will begin working on the rough draft portion of their brochure. The 1st and 2nd graders spent a lot of time practicing their Anansi Readers Theater. They also close read an article about spiders, answered questions and identified where they found the answer in the passage. Once they finished that activity, they began researching a spider of their choice. We will be putting together flip books towards the end of this unit.

As always the students enjoyed their Think Fun time playing Chess, Marble Run and doing other creative activities. If there are any parents who would like to come in and teach Chess on day, we would love to have you. Please let me know. :)
