Camping in January!

We’re going camping in January!  “Shiver me timbers!” Really it won’t be so bad. We’ll be sleeping and eating inside warm cabins.  Also, some of our classes will be indoors.  Our focus will be on Outdoor Education. Kids seem eager to go. Check out the link below and come back here to comment in response to one of the questions below the link.

Here's a photo from Islandwood. Check out the camp website by clicking on the picture. It's a link to the site.

Alex’s Effort

Lately we’ve been working hard as a class. I set-up some rotations for related activities during our literacy block and math period. During the rotations our class has really been engaged. Alex produced a piece of work that fits nicely with our math rotations. He was done with an assignment I gave him and he asked for more to do. So, he moved to the Extra Assignment activity. I was really excited for him. Alex seemed very enthusiastic as well. This activity was a good fit for him as he had a solid amount of confidence built up from the last activity he had done. He wasn’t doing it to improve his Knowledge, instead he was trying to improve his Know-How. Let’s stay engaged and be sure to keep turning in any artifacts that you produce that show evidence of your learning.
