Adjustment after Easter week has been rough. I had kiddos with emotiona breakdowns, stomach bugs, and just overall chaos in the classroom. I think the kids can sense that it is the last few weeks of schools.
This week, we talked about line plots in math. For this project, the students got a "bag of goodies" for their table group. As a group, they measured the objects either in cm/inch. Then, they created a line plot. Afterward, they answered the questions. I supported the ELs with sentence starters which worked out to be success!
And then there is behavior issues that are arising that I have not seen yet. some of my students have started to be "unethical" often denying to tell the truth. They have started to blame each other for their behavior. Therefore, today, we came up with a new plan. If you moved your clip you had to do 3 things during recess: explain what did you do, why did you do it, and how you will make a better choice tomorrow. Oh yeah, it had to be in complete sentences. If students moved to red, they had to get it sign by a parent. Yeap, some of my students already wrote today..:/ They sure write fast under the pressure!
Oh yeah, our larva is here..and 2nd grade is ready to grow some beautiful butterflies!
