Warm Fuzzies and Google Slides
/Student authors have been hard at work on their biographies about inspiring individuals. Some authors even wanted to bring their research notes outside to continue their work during outside choice time this week! Students meet briefly in their peer review groups every 2-3 days to receive feedback and work on editing their biographies. Over the next couple weeks teachers will teach individual students how to use Google Slides to prepare a presentation about their inspiring individuals. Students are becoming quite proficient at technology as they learn to utilize Google slides, math applications, and online research articles. Outside today we noticed a sneaky squirrel that kept returning to our bird feeders to eat all the seeds. We also noticed that our roses are in full bloom. Yesterday, we were surprised to see hail covering the ground! There’s never a dull moment as we explore the beauty of nature. This week a student brought in a fossil to share with the class. We also started a warm fuzzy box at school. Throughout the school day students are invited to write warm fuzzies for each other. At the end of the day we distribute warm fuzzies. It’s been exciting to see new friendships developing between different students this week. Every day we work together to create a loving community and help each other’s brains continue to grow. It’s been rewarding to see students helping each other with editing, writing ideas, math concepts, reading tricky words, and inventing new games to play together. What a pleasure to get to end the last weeks of the school year together and in-person. This is something we do not take for granted.
