No Power...No Problem!

The third day of school was an exciting and challenging one. We had no power!

That didn't stop this class, we took our supplies outside and problem solved!

We worked on art projects....

We practiced our math facts playing a game called Salute. This is where one person, 'the general' gives two cards to two friends and tells them to 'Salute.' The students place the cards on their forehead. Then, the general can either tell them the sum, difference, or product of the two numbers. Since students can only see one number, their goal is to guess their missing number. 

What a fun way to practice math facts!

 

  

 

 Even though having no electricity was a challenge, the students had a fun day!

What things run on electricity?

What was a challenge today for you?

Teambuilding!

Today was our second day of school!

We continued our adventure! 

In the morning we played more 'getting to know you games'. We searched for new friends and talked about their interests.

Later, students had fun "building" using the Kleenex boxes and the paper towels. They used teamwork and perseverance to build a pyramid. 

What does perseverance mean?

The tissue boxes are rectangular prisms, while the paper towels are cylinders.

Magnificent balancing work!

After recess, we lined up and got ready to open up and categorize all the supplies. 
Later, students dove right into reading their 'good fit book' and explored the various seating around the classroom. Look at the quiet and magnificent reading happening!
