Yaseen was our Amazing All-Star this week! The class enjoyed seeing pictures of his family and hearing about his different trips. Yaseen shared some of his favorite items from home, including: a microscope from his aunt, a special pen and keychain from his grandma, a stuffed bear from Beaumont when he got stitches, a fossil from his aunt, and a pouch of international coins. Yaseen enjoyed a special lunch with his mom on Wednesday. Everyone laughed out loud at the funny poems he read aloud on Thursday.
Music Share Day
I loved listening to and watching the talent from our classroom on Tuesday! Students who participated played the piano, created songs using Garage Band, played the guitar, sang, and choreographed a dance...impressive! Room 13 All-Stars were so supportive of their classmates and encouraged each participant as he/she took his/her turn. Music Share Day will continue next Tuesday.
STEM Challenge
Well it came to no surprise that the students loved the water bottle flipping challenge! However, I could only handle the flipping for about 90 minutes. All bottles were recycled after the challenge. Students worked to figure out which type of bottle worked best for flipping. After collecting their data on 4 different types of bottles they created a frequency table, graph or line plot, and calculated the success rate for each bottle. Check out some of the action shots below.
Basketball Jones
Students had fun at my personal favorite assembly on Wednesday. Basketball Jones reminded us of what it means to be kind, explained patient listening, and reinforced our classroom philosophy of growth mindset and the power of yet.
