We started our day with a team-building activity called "Pasta Race". The kids worked in groups to move spaghetti from one side to the other using only 2 foam plates--without touching the pasta! The results were interesting, to say the least!
The kids signed up for Edmodo, and I can tell they are excited about it already! We also finished our Tagxedos for the front of our Target notebooks.
Later we worked on starting the basics of our Interactive Target Notebooks. The kids did a good job making their notebooks unique and getting ready for our work together.
We got a sneak peek at our new Shakespeare Unit. The kids are excited about what's coming next for this unit! To begin getting ready for all the acting we'll do later, we learned some vocal warm-ups and also learned how to do a "Tableaux". Ask your kiddo about what that is and how it went today!
We also practiced a bit of mindfulness with Til the Thinker & Widdle the Worrier and Clouds.
We started our unit by reading a bit of our book, Operation YES!
