As always we started our day by working our creative brains. Today's thinking activities were to come up with words that begin with the letter u, and to think of creative uses for a paper bag. The second one was much more difficult than I expected it to be. What could you do with a paper bag, other than use it as a bag.
We also had a very brief discussion on the important invent that occured 70 years ago, the Pearl Harbor attacks. I was impressed with how many of the students knew what the day was about. I asked them to check with you, their parents, to find out if they have any relatives that have served our country in a conflict or war.
The students wrote the final copy of their letters to Mrs. Blumberg about school uniforms. Mrs. Blumber loved reading the letters adn will come and discuss them during next week's class.
Last, we played a few rounds of Equations. The students are really being quite clever. It's fun to see one students use a technique on one round then have others pick it up and use it on the following rounds. I just love it when students learn from each other. We'll continue to play some Equations each week until Winter Break.
