The New Arrangement

The class has changed shape.  Miss Colby swapped out the grade 6 tables to desks.

  • the grade 6's like the idea of having their own have own space
  • the grade 6's prefer to clean their own space not others
  • grade 4's and 5's are still in groups but in new location
  • the hope was that separated the grade 6's would be more quiet, but even with desks grade 6 are noisy
  • the grade 6's acknowledge the above as true

The new term is beginning in a couple of weeks.  We are going to start new Social Studies Units, Science units, and we will begin our Dance unit.  In the new term we will also be switching our inquiry question.

For now the grade 4's are excited about their plant habitat.  They have learned a lot about plant habitats through our mistakes and observation.  The grade 5's are learning about how the lungs work by making a model of a lung and are interested to see what they look like when they are done.
