I must say, I'm beat! We had a wonderful week full of organizing, learning routines, building community, and getting the hang of IB. Library Organization and Friday's QuestionWe got to know our library by organizing it by genre and popular authors. We also have a question on the whiteboard to answer each day (I only got a picture of Friday's. Oops!). Some of the answers are so sweet, I can't help but share. How many bears can live in the forest?We completed an activity where students were bears (we even had an injured bear, a blind bear, and a mama bear). The bears had to collect food (slips of paper) and we counted at the end to see if the bears had enough food to survive (80 pounds for 10 days of survival)! Turns out, only 2 of our bears would have made it! We had two very kind bears (shout out to William and Myles) who shared their food with our blind bear. Though we know that wouldn't happen in the wild, it was definitely something I'm thankful happened in our class. See if your child can answer the following question: how did this activity relate to our Unit of Inquiry (Sharing the Planet)? In what ways did this activity represent the structure of the community?
For good measure, here's Penny relaxing this weekend, hope you do the same! See you Monday!
