You really impressed our guests and me with your hard work and expertise in our severe weather unit. I just got done reading through your reflections and many of you were able to identify an area that was difficult and an area that you excelled in! Many of you stated that researching and paraphrasing was difficult. This is a new skill for many of us and one we will continue to do throughout the year!
I want to thank all the people that were able to make it in during this busy time of the year. For those who were not able to, we captured a few good shots (but I will take one with each group and their boards later this week).
We will be assembling our survival kits that we are donating towards the end of the week. Each child was assigned one item to bring from home. The kids brainstormed as a group and each picked one thing (your child should know their item, it as recorded on a letter sent home last week). Everything teams agreed on are things that could be purchased at the Dollar Tree and ranged from a water bottle, to flashlight, batteries, and a first aide "kit" (which could be a ziplock with a few band-aids).
We are moving in a different direction for some of our upcoming Friday Challenges where the kids are taking the lead to teach a skill. This week, we had some friends teach others how to make loom bracelets. Everyone was successful and worked together! Upcoming will be origami, friendship bracelets, and more!
Happy Holidays!
