Good afternoon!
Today in Peace Pod we stayed indoors and enjoyed some time in Ignite, exchanging our Home Reading, building with Big Blue Blocks and other engaging centres. We found a comfortable spot and spent some time reading quietly and then had a chance to share our books with a friend.
Next, Mr. W and Mr. Mccambly introduced a Word work game where rolled dice and built words using what we know about beginning word blends.
During Wonder Time today we read "Franklin gets lost" and students shared their personal experiences of a time when they might have been lost. Through our Pod discussion, we recognized that landmarks and maps are important for finding our way. After looking at a variety of maps, students were given the challenge "How might we create a map to help you find EHS if you got lost?". Students were given a piece of graph to create a map of Tuscany thinking about our community landmarks. Their maps were so thoughtful and creative!
