We posted a blog about our ZONES videos, however it may have gotten overlooked because of the post right after it. Just wanted to let you know you can check out your child's 4 different faces of 4 different zones in a previous post! Enjoy!
Halloween Parade: The Halloween parade at TBS will begin at 8:45am on Wednesday, October 31. The students should come to school in costume or have little to do to prepare. Costume guidelines for the parade and while at TBS: No masks or "violence." So, even if a student is dressed as a pirate, police officer or similar iconic figure, no weapons may accompany the costume while at TBS. Save the masks, gore or weaponry props for events outside of school. Thanks!
After the parade, school resumes (smile) and students will change out of their costumes.
Scrap Wood Collection: During our choice activities on Friday's we want to include carpentry projects as an option and are ready to begin collecting scrap wood. Scraps of all sizes can be useful and pine or other "soft" wood are ideal (oak and hardwoods are not easy to work with). If your fingernail can easily make an impression, it is usually the right type. Tool donations would also be great, although we will have a basic set for the kids to use.
We started off our day with our first every CerritoBerry Geography Bee. Students worked together in small groups to answer a variety of state geography trivia. It was awesome to see them work together and share the knowledge they've accumulated from their state research!
We dedicated most of the math class today to reflect on our work so far. Students thought back to the activities they've done in math class in the past few months and identified their own strengths and challenges. This activity provided us with some valuable insight into their feelings towards math and who they feel they are as learners.
We continued to work on publishing the stories in Writer's Workshop today. Half the class worked on typing their stories while the other half participated in science. Many of the students have chosen to revise their work by adding descriptions, juicy vocabulary, and a variety of sentences.
We ended the day with some great state shares from Florida, Indiana, and Iowa! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
