Today is International Dot Day! We "read" The Dot by Peter Reynolds and then we made our own "marks." We discussed precepts (from Wonder) and what we mean when we say our mark-what we leave behind. We made sure to sign our "marks" before hanging them around the room.
We finished up our last day at this morning choice and then went to Music. In our meeting, we shared our interest in safety patrol and then talked about student council and those interested took forms to fill out. Our election will be next Thursday. Then, we did our Dot Day activities and then started the section in Wonder from Justin's perspective (Via's boyfriend). We read independently, finished up our main idea StoryWorks paper and then did some free writing. After lunch and recess, in quiet time, we completed our M4T assessment and then the chaos of math workshop began. I think that every person needed me at the same time today... It was very stressful. I explained that with independence, they need to use common sense and some WWLD (What would Lambright do?) to decide if they can answer their own questions. For example, they don't need to ask me if they should go on to the next thing or if they should sharpen their pencil. :) In Math, some were taking their post-test, others were practicing, some were on Canvas, some were finishing their Roman Numerals project, others were trying to teach me about using different bases (other than our typical base-10 system)... We ended our day with our first celebration~Electronic party!
