This trimester, in addition to our classroom topics, we have collaboratively been exploring the idea of "communication" with the Superstars and Ladybugs. We meet twice a week and share our personal experiences as we begin to assimilate new concepts and ideas. Problem solving, cooperation, listening, asking questions, giving hypothesis's, comparing/contrasting and cause and effect are several of the skills that students use along with math, writing, reading, social studies and science. The Sharks continue to make connections between the lesson of the day, lessons that have been covered, and incorporate them into new lessons as we move forward. The result? The students are sharing more, learning how to ask insightful questions, and interacting with each other to find their answers. Below are several pictures of our past few weeks together, including our recent field study at the Post Office.
