Hello,
We're going to wait a bit longer on our research papers. The class voted to get started on our biome unit. I have now spent a couple of days giving an overview of several biomes. Students will make their top choices tomorrow. Based on their choices, I will be partnering them up and they will be putting together mini museum displays. They will have to show off their research findings through a diorama and poster combination as we turn our classroom into a biome museum.
We talked a little about predator/prey relationships today. We went out and played a deer vs. wolves game. I cut it short when I realized multiple deer trying to get caught by wolves. It kind of messes up the lesson.
I've been releasing the class Kindles. We have three used ones. Kids are allowed to bring them home. They are not allowed to download any other book than the one I gave them permission to read. They can't purchase anything new either. We'll see how this goes. I figure that we'll learn as we go. I plan to get a Brunswick library account set up with them as well.
We are starting geometry in math. I'm very happy to get into some lessons that everyone is ready for. Hooray for more hands on learning!
Homework club is meeting tomorrow after school. Harry Potter club meets at lunch.
Have a great night.
Mr. Shea
