Estimation, Ten Marks, Meeting Clarissssa, Personal Narrative Titles, Grounders


 This second and third week the kids are learning to estimate. We used the plums and tomatoes from my garden. Ten Marks and Khan Academy are program tools that can be used to learn and reinforce math concepts in class and at home. Clarissssa felt comfortable and came out for a long time. The students have been working on their first writing-- the criteria list was generated awhile back and the titles you see are some representing the topic of "One Important Event from Summer".




This is one of the areas where Grounders is played. It is a game where the IT has to
catch the others by tagging and can say "Grounders", and if you are on the ground, you are it.
We did a big class meeting about how to play fairly, morph a game, and keep play--playful. It was an important class discussion and problem solving because they talked to and with each other to create a better and more fair game.
