Unit Study:
We did a bit more research, and will have three more class periods to research and create the Survivor Books. The next three work sessions will be an hour each, so the kids will be able to get a lot of writing and collaboration done!
We also learned about how a man used "Survival Tips" to stay safe on a hunting trip in the Cascade Mountains. We compared that to the ways Sam stays safe in the woods in our book.
Novel Study:
We read a bit more, finding out how Sam came to have a Falcon of his own! It was a thrilling episode in this story!
Stations:
We stretched our convergent thinking with analogies and a logic puzzle. We also gave our divergent thinking skills a workout with a February F2OE. Their creativity always amazes me!
Affective Skills:
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "2 Minute Mindfulness of Breath". The kids enjoyed that one, especially with the beautiful photo of the waterfall in the mountains. Kind of reminded them of our book.
