Music: For music, the first thing we did was join the google classroom for music. Then we took a survey that explained about us. After that, we talked about how
Everybody can learn to do music. And we also talked about the meaning of neuroplasticity. At the end, we played a game called skip a beat, take a seat. For that game, the teacher comes up with a pattern on the drums and we have to do the pattern a certain amount of times. If we play more than that number of times, we have to sit down and we are out.
PE: Right when we get in the gymnasium we walk around the track until all of the other classes get in. We did a game that you get in teams of 4 or 5 people. There is a row of chairs in front of the two teams. The first people in line for the two teams ran and started jumping in order from chair to chair. When the two people met in the middle, they did rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Whoever won, got to keep going. If they lose, they have to go to the back of the line. Then another person from the team that lost comes in and tries to block the other person from coming to the end because the first person to go through the entire row of chairs gets a point. Whoever gets the most points in 3 min wins.
Math: We are learning about having a growth mindset and neuroplasticity in math, too! We did Ken Ken math. If you don’t know what Ken Ken is it is like sudoku but with much more math involved.
Science: We took a walk in the woods and looked for living and nonliving things, and also wrote down our wonders.
Assemblies:
This week, we had two assemblies. The first one was the ipad assembly. They talked about the rules for the ipad and how to hold it correctly and use it correctly. We also had an assembly for the beginning of the month. The key value for the month is respect. We also sang the Star Spangled Banner and had a moment of silence for all the people who died on September 11th.
