It is hard to believe we are in the fourth quarter already! Time flies when you are having fun! :) This week we are taking a break from unit work and having a day of team builder-like challenges. Pictures will be posted later!
We will not be meeting next week, due to spring break!
Starting in April we will begin our final unit! More details later...

We have gotten a lot accomplished on the Adventure stories! Almost everyone has their story typed into Google Forms. This week we will add personal touches, such as selecting a theme for the form and adding images. I'm expecting these to be completed this week. Once they are completed I will add links to each of them on this blog!

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!

Tomorrow should be our last day of building! We will begin with assembling the Studio's components. Then each student will choose a roof design, draft it, and then build it.
Once the studios are built it is time for creativity! Each student will be able to personalize their studios. Students will select a theme for this process. Students will need to provide all the supplies for this part of the project. They may bring their supplies any time next week. They will need to have their supplies here by next Friday, February 5. I will send home a reminder note next week!
