First Week!

Working together to define the Warrior Way.  What does it look like?  What does it sound like?  What does it feel like? 
 - Be responsible
 - Be respectful
 - Be safe
The Warrior Way

Our Essential Agreement is a collective decision and agreement on how we will interact, learn, share, and work together in the classroom.

​Our inquiry focus at the beginning of the year is finding out ‘Who We Are’.  Who are we as individuals?  Who are we as a group?  In what ways can we show who we are?
Thursday students wrote “I wish my teacher knew…” to describe the unique qualities, interests, concerns, and questions they have.  Later in the day, we used our knowledge of a variety of mathematics topics to create a number representation of ourselves.  

Using our knowledge of multiplication, we made our own 2D and 3D “Multiplication Cities”.  Students used the blocks to physically create their cities and gain a concrete/tactile understanding of multiplication, then they created an abstract representation of the numbers in their drawing.  

We used The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein to talk about our relationships with others and how we strive for balanced relationships where both parties contribute.  Students then rewrote The Giving Tree to create their own version of the story.  

Happy Friday!
