I hope you are starting your weekend relaxing without too many tricks - Happy April Fool's Day! May we all find ways to embrace the rainy days this month and look forward to the green grass and flowers that will be popping up soon! ☔

This week students worked hard with their writing!  They are taking their time teaching others how to do something step by step.  Students are using nice transition words like first, then, next, and lastly. 

Math we played a fun game called Bump.  Students roll a die, think about the number that comes before the number they rolled, then find that number on their sheet. When they find the number they place a cube on that spot.  Next, their partner rolls the die and follows the same step.  This game is fun because you can bump your partner off of their spot unless they have two cubes on a particular spot which means they are locked into that space. As you can imagine students thought this tricky game was amusing and everyone remained flexible about being a good sport!

During our SS/ECO time, we explored what a compass rose is and the 4 cardinal directions.  Students had a blast playing the game 4 Corners outside where they would choose a direction to run in and hopefully that direction would not be the direction that the "caller" called out.  Learning through games is the best type of learning, it raises engagement and allows for concepts to have more meaning!
