Global School Play Day
Even though Global School Play Day fell on the day we were released early due to snow, the students still had a great time. They enjoyed having extra time for playing games, working on puzzles, building, and being crafty. To make the time extra fun, we invited Mrs. E Higgins's students in to play with us and we got to spend some time in their room too.
Friday, we celebrated the 100th day of school! During Math Stations the students worked in groups to complete 100th Day STEM activities. As a team, they created something with 100 cups, 100 popsicle sticks, 100 legos, and 100 pattern blocks. It was interesting to see how different each group's creations were and listen to their conversations.
Happy 100th Day!
Creations included: a giant z; a gumball machine; and a school with desks
Creations included: a man & car; a house on wheels; and a house with a car
Creations included: a castle & garden; a flower, bicycle, & butterfly; and a train
Creations included: a castle with a wall; Legoland; and a tower
Open ended activities are important for building creativity, developing planning skills, learning how to problem solve, and learning to persevere when things don't go the way we pictured in our minds. STEM activities encourage students to plan, problem solve, and persevere.
