We changed up the Station Rotation a bit today with two Medieval Activities-a reading exploration of Food in the Middle Ages, and creating a diagram of parts of a castle. We also had our regular logic puzzles to keep us sharp too1
Divergent Thinking:
We started sketches of our Coat of Arms. We'll work some more of those next week by creating a finished product.
Self-Reflection:
We continued our Mindfulness Moments with a short guided relaxation. View it here: Quiet Cave
Medieval Unit Collaboration/Research:
Expert Groups collaborated to finish projects today. I think most groups are close or ready to present next week. A few small pieces were taken home to finish up.
Novel Study:
We read three more chapters in our novel, The Whipping Boy. Jemmi and Prince Brat (Horace) escaped from the bandits, got lost in the forest, met a run-away bear, and were on their way to town with the Hot Potato Cap'n. That is until they were captured again by the bandits! Will Prince Brat ever get the plan straight? Will Jemmi finally get away? We'll find out next week when we finish the book!
HW: Edmodo-Write a short update about your project presentation ideas.
Until Next Week,
Mrs. Kraeger
