Collaboration is the Name of the Game!

Collaboration was the name of the game this week in room E109. Both classes spent a lot of time this week preparing for the global twitter chat that we will be taking part in. I love that we are going to have so many different responses to the prompt, What should learning look like in schools of the future? Every day students were reminded what it takes to work well with others and reflected on their abilities as members of their teams.

                                                         G - Give encouragement
                                                         R - Respect on another
                                                         O - On task (stay)
                                                         U - Use quiet voices
                                                         P - Participate actively
                                                         S - Stay in our groups

We also made time to hone our writing skills with more Quickwrites inspired by beautiful mentor texts. This week we looked at an excerpt from the Book of Awsome and read the poem I Am From by George Ella Lyon.
