January 26-29
Since my last post we have had some crazy schedules (with benchmark testing and snow), but the students adjusted well and we began our Quarter 3 unit, Risking it All! We began exploring through a gallery walk of quotes the importance of risk taking. We analyzed the quotes to find common themes. Then, we looked at video clips that also supported the theme of risking it all. We finished the week by comparing "King Wins Nobel Peace Prize" to the poem "Risk Taking is Free."
