Next week, we will decide on our story characters, make our story plans, and begin acting out our stories using puppets. Then, we will be ready to start writing!
After recess we did wordwork and then we did a much needed desk clean-out! Many of us had very full desks and have quite a few bits and pieces coming home in our backpacks. Congratulations to Isabel who set a goal for herself to keep her desk clean for all of February and achieved her goal. This is Isabel's desk tray BEFORE we even started our desk clean out. Congratulations Isabel!
When our desk clean-out was finished we had a few minutes to play Matheltics.
This afternoon we had another discussion about the human impacts in Whispering Woods. The main piece of our discussion was about the pathways. Our t-chart from yesterday indicated that the group felt the pathways were a negative impact, but our Whispering Signs refer to the pathways as "protective pathways" and seem to be saying that the pathways are a good thing. We talked about a few different ideas that you could keep discussing at home: Why are some pathways good and some pathways bad? What does a "protective pathway" protect? Can there be too few or too many pathways in a space?
After we finished our work about human impacts we went to gym. Today was our last day of jungle safari. Then, it was time for music.
Please remember that tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We will be spending time in the Whispering Woods so please come dressed appropriately for the snow and the weather. If you have not returned your field trip forms please do so ASAP.
