What We Learned Today...September 16th



ELA: We started out our day silent reading in AR from 9:00  - 9:30 and any students who needed to complete their RAD test were also able to work on them during this time.  At 9:30 we switched gears and each student grabbed a laptop and took their beginning of the year STAR test to see how much their reading level has grown since last year.

Genius Hour: Once the students arrived back from Phys. Ed I introduced the amazing project that we will be doing in our classroom over the next couple of months.....Genius Hour!  This is a project that I started last year and I am extremely excited to do it again as it allows students to explore their own passions and encourages creativity in the classroom.  Tonight the students have been tasked with brainstorming something they are passionate about and formulating an essential question.  Tomorrow we will start to go through these questions and formally begin the project!

Health: After lunch the students received one final period to work on their "All About Me" power points.  We will begin the in class presentations during tomorrow's class and will continue into next week.
