Boundary Breaker: You are being sent back in time to the ancient civilization that you chose to research. You can only take one item with you. What would you take with you and why?
Starting off today, we finished our Roman Mosaics, resulting in these masterpieces!
Students were also challenged to build a paper illusion by only looking at a model. As they worked on the challenging task, I took notes on the language I heard and strategies used and we discussed my notes in our debrief about maintaining a growth mindset even while struggling.
We then practiced our questioning skills to discover the hidden item in our mystery box. We found a postcard from the Roman Colosseum from our friend Mrs. Clarkson! You can check out her recent travels to the area here!
For research today, we focused on the "I" of our F.I.N.D.S. method and students investigated different online and text sources for their research. We practice correct citations and began our preliminary note taking.
For math, 3rd graders kicked off Chapter 2 on grouping. We visited the alien land of Treble where they use a base 3 number system. Students practiced making trades among their place values and played a dice game to be the first player to reach 1 Trickle!
And finally, I will end with this group of amazing and adorable people enjoying a gorgeous day.
