| Morning Meeting activity-- playing Hearts |
Learning to play card games provides great opportunities for socializing and thinking strategically. Each is learning to pay attention to the whole game and figure out how to win. Hearts has been fun because the goal is to gt the least amount of Hearts. Plus, this game has a great connection to English History which we talked about. Maya even found a book that supported the information I had shared with them in class. It was really cool to see kids see each other in new ways because different players won. The game helps develop critical thinking skills like analyzing and judging.
Project where the students learned the bones and put together a model. This report had many parts. The writing had to be in 3rd person which took a lot of revision. Each report had a drawing or diagram and a bibliography.
It was also great because we have had two medical experts join us and teach- Ms. Mickey, a nurse from the county health department and Ms. Melanie, a nurse that works at Good Samaritan and helped coordinate the Pen Pals.

| Both of these happy kids can explain the Digestive System. They taught had the bright idea to match the model to the book in order to get clarification. |
