La Thunkuna Hopscotch

Today we learned to play a version of hopscotch called La Thunkuna, which originated in Boliva. Sawyer mastered the game and then taught other students how to play. During classroom choice time student engineers designed a large Rigamajig structure. Our engineers engaged in much debate and problem solving as they determined the best design plan. They are planning to return to working on this structure tomorrow. During writing time today we continued talking about the elements of story. We discussed how to write an interesting setting description. We are working on adding interesting details in our stories. Some of our advanced writers are working on varying their sentence lengths to create a higher quality of writing. Pod 2 learned how to play Banangrams.
