Halloween and More Halloween
Halloween was celebrated over and over in all kinds of different ways...math, writing, reading and building are among some of the creative areas we explored. Halloween Edpuzzles are always fun and challenging. The girls are learning to use their analytical skills to problem solve by using the Singapore Math method, which is bar modeling. We have spent much time on this, and the girls are growing in confidence.
Stop by our hall bulletin board and read some of the girls' spooky Halloween writing. It was their opportunity to choose a picture and write a setting or short story or beginning of a story. The girls loved it. Our concentration was on creating a mood with strong verbs and adjectives. We had quite a range of scary stories and some potential mystery book authors!
You could feel the excitement in the classroom as the book projects arrived, and wow, they were even more innovative this time. There is so much creativity in our class! The girls are very supportive of each other also, and each girl made a point to compliment others on their effort. The best part of the day was the building of the haunted house. This required the girls to use their best engineering skills, while they figured out which projects should be the foundation, and so forth...math and engineering at its best!
