New Structures in Outdoor Classroom
/We are intentionally cultivating a community of readers. We start our mornings with reading and then any time we finish work early, we immediately grab a book to read. This week our yellow reading group started reading a book called The Littles. Each day the readers in this group read a chapter and then meet to discuss. A student leader helps facilitate the group discussions. During writer’s workshop today we wrote birthday letters to Emma. In our outside classroom this week Mr. Mark brought in some new boughs and a durable canvas tarp for our building projects. These materials have been great for creating shaded structures on these warm days. We continued to work on our play set this afternoon. We also continued our discussion about how our brains grow when we make mistakes. Today we started talking about mistakes we’ve made and what we’ve learned from these mistakes. We worked together to help each other brainstorm ways to learn from mistakes we’ve made.
