This week we officially ended our Where We Are in place and Time unit about how people create things to solve a problem or meet a need by sharing the students creations and ideas at our Invention Convention. The students were fantastic communicators and were so happy to host so many parents as well as some students and teachers on Wednesday and Thursday. For any parents who were not able to attend, the models and displays have been moved into the STEM room and entrance area so please feel free to check them out!
We also began our third unit of the year under the trans disciplinary theme of Who We Are. The students worked together in groups to unscramble the lines of inquiry and discussed their initial thoughts about what they meant and what the unit will be about.
During language time, we focused on paragraph writing and learnt that a paragraph is a lot like a hamburger! Then the students began brainstorming ideas about a topic that interests them and will expand their ideas into a hamburger…I mean into a paragraph next week.
Speaking of next week, it will be a busy last week of the year!
