This week we get a double dose of High Flyers! We met on Monday to make up for last Friday when I was at a conference. On Monday we started our next mini unit- Choose Your Own Adventure. Students completed a story map based on choices for each part of their story. If you are familiar with the book "Meanwhile", it is very similar to that. Students are given a question with two choices. Depending on their answer, decides which way the story goes next. Tomorrow everyone will be creating a Google Form that they will be typing this story into. Students are allowed to personalize their form and add pictures to each page. Once they are completed I will add the links to this blog so you can see their completed story! I am expecting these to be completed by next Friday.

The Studio unit is complete. Last Friday each student created a real estate listing for their studio. If you would like to see your child's listing, ask them to show you! It is on their Google Drive!

I will not be meeting with the High Flyers this week. I will be attending a conference the end of this week. Due to this I will be meeting with them next Monday, February 29. We will begin our next unit, "Choose Your Adventure". In this unit, students will be creating an adventure for their classmates using Google Forms. They will begin by using a story map to assist with getting their thoughts on paper.

The studios are complete! They turned out pretty good! Although I think everyone could agree that they need to work on their angles and being more precious when building! :) This week we are going to do two more activities with the studios! First we are going to figure out the building cost of each studio, then we are going to create a real estate listing on the computer for their studio. They will come up with a catchy title, figure the square footage, and create a listing to attract potential buyers!
