Hope you all had a great long weekend. I'm sure the kiddos enjoyed the day off just as much as we did!
This past week we started off with shared agreements so we could determine the do's of the classroom and how we each learn best. We practiced our communication skills Tuesday with an activity that partnered students up and had one of them describe a picture while the other student had to draw it based solely on their partners description. They learned that they needed to be way more descriptive in their directions if they wanted the pictures to match.
On Wednesday we created a Coat of Arms that depicted how students describe themselves in terms of their strengths, weaknesses, things they care about and what they want their future to look like. Thursday, we started Time Capsules. Students love this activity because they have a chance to write to their future selves and see how much they have grown throughout the course of a school year.
For No Fun Friday we played scattergories. Students were challenged to come up with words that fit into a specific category, however, every word had to start with the same letter.
Overall, it was a great week!
