CRITERIA:
- I collect and record data about myself
- I pictorially represent that data by using a legend
- I analyse my data by looking for similarities and differences between the different glyphs
Welcome Back to a New School Year!! We’ve not been back for long, but we can already tell that we’ve got a great group of motivated and curious kids. Since moving into our permanent class, we’ve been busy getting to know each other and building our classroom community. We worked together to brainstorm different values that are important to us in the classroom and we narrowed down our list to four values that will guide us throughout the year – respect for each other, treating others the way we want to be treated, sharing & caring for others and good manners. Several of us made posters for our wall so that we have visual reminders. We will refer to those values throughout the year and will be reminded of their importance :) One this week’s activities involved sharing details about our summer (data) in the form of a glyph (face). Each part of our glyph (face) represents different information. For example, our hair represents where we went this summer (our glyph shows hair is blue if we didn’t go anywhere, red if we stayed inside Canada and yellow if we went outside Canada) and our eyes represent a word to describe our summer (if our summer was fun our eyes are black, if it was uneventful our eyes are blue, if it was exciting our eyes are brown and if our summer was exhausting our eyes are green). Once our glyphs were completed and displayed, we walked around and made observations, looking for similarities and differences between the glyphs. We recorded those observations and then shared with the class. It was great to see students so engaged in the activity and so willing to think critically. LEARNING INTENTION: I can represent data in a glyph CRITERIA:
This week also included several different STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) activities that involved lots of problem-solving, teamwork and perseverance. One of the activities involved making a tower to hold a stuffed animal and another involved building a LEGO sailboat for Max in Where the Wild Things Are. We loved the challenges and are looking forward to more! It was a great week of learning in division 14!
