Team Jordan has been working on creating fun math games that will help our classmates practice their skills. This week, students presented their games to their peers. They included instructions, question cards, and lots of creativity!
How does creating games make you a better thinker?
When you can teach others it shows mastery and true understanding!
A math game called "Field Goal" for the football fans!
The class is captivated as Bob explains the game he created with Jake and John.
Mia R., Isabelle, Margo and Julia work together to present their math game, "Shark Attack."
Team Jordan listens in as Kole describes his groups's game that is outer space-themed.
Everybody loves Jeopardy!
This week we also enjoyed working in small groups to perform a reader's theater. This reader's theater was based on an Algonquin folktale, it tells how after a terrible winter, Glooskap found summer. We are learning how folktales are stories told orally and handed down by generations.
The students divided the roles in a story and practiced their lines.
What a great way to become more fluent. They even made props and a setting backdrop!
As always, my players over came their fears and acting in front of their peers.
Thank you Glooskap for finding summer!
We can recount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures; determine the central message, lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text.
