So I put this on during dismissal and all the kids were like “YOU WATCH WWE?!?!”
I once tried to put on some classical, and Will said “next time Mr. Potter, can we listen to some good music?”
So during centers this week we are working individually on some challenging problems, and then as a group going over them and finding our mistakes. I think it’s really helping quite a few students learn to self-assess. When students are able to get immediate feedback like this, it makes it much easier for them to see where their gaps in understanding or mistakes are.
Again tonight students have some geometry review. We talked about ordered pairs and graphing some today, and students also have a mystery picture to draw using ordered pairs.
Our Language Arts lesson got quickly derailed as we were talking about languages in the Mysterious Benedict society. We took a break to review how North and South America were colonized (invaded) by different countries from Europe. Various places have their current languages today based on what country colonized them, and we had to take some time exploring where those countries were.
tonight students again have a combined LA/science review in the form of a passage about the lungs:
Before I knew it we were out of time, as the vast majority of students then went to their end of quarter Frozen celebration, where they got to do a bunch of fun things like make a lava lamp and make little snowmen!
so, tl;dr
geometry review, and an ordered pair mystery picture exercise:
Review passage on the lungs:
as always, read!
Have a good one,
-Mr. Potter
