Unit Study:
We learned about Conditionals in coding--If, else statements. The kids had fun playing a "Conditional Card Game" where they made up their own rules. Later, they used conditional code to solve Lesson 13 activities. They had a chance to earn 3 extra minutes of recess by successfully completing the conditional challenge, "If the class is quiet for 30 seconds, the class earns 3 minutes of extra recess." They were successful!
Stations:
We used convergent thinking to solve a Fallen Phrase puzzle based on our novel. The kids also used their communication skills and creativity to write an advice letter to our main character.
Novel Study:
We read a bit more of our novel. The kids are getting excited about finding out who stole E.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
