The past two weeks have been super busy. We have been hosting guests in our classroom each Thursday. Last week, I forgot to mention, that we had the superintendent visit us! This week Steelcase and Creative came for an observation. It went so well! We had such a great time chatting with Kevin after the observation. Our kiddos were super and showed off all of their skills!
The 8th graders did a fun activity with lock-boxes... our take on a mini break out room activity. The students solved inequalities in order to figure out the combinations to the locks. The last box that they opened revealed a special treat. We did this activity as part of stations so it was timed. The students really got into it and definitely felt the pressure of having a timer. We will definitely be incorporating more of these activities into our lessons. The students rotated through 3 stations during the class period.
The 7th graders got into the Halloween spirit by building "Frank" (Frankenstein). We found this activity on Lindsay Perro's TPT site. The students evaluated expressions to determine how to assemble Frank. One student didn't even want to go to lunch because he was having such a good time with the activity. We set it up as centers. The students enjoyed moving from center to center to complete the task and add a "body part" to Frank. We will definitely work on developing some of our own activities that follow the same type of set up.
