Yes, that's my awful handwriting even when taking my time to form letters carefully. Each day I record the daily agenda at the far end of the dry-erase board. This week has us launching a study of slavery, abolitionists, and the Civil War. We're also formally beginning our work with photography. We'll begin by learning to frame pictures in all sorts of different ways and move on to using these photos to inspire our writing. Eventually I hope to use photography to explore issues related to our classroom and school - friendship, cooperation, rituals, etc. In math we are stretching ourselves to solve increasingly difficult multiplication problems and to determine when these sorts of problems are necessary within the context of real world scenarios.
And, of course, we had our Biography Share Fair on Tuesday. Here are a whole host of photos from the presentations the kids gave to their fellow schoolmates. Each and every student at CFI came out to hear about their learning. At the end are some photos from this morning. The kids have been using the Chromebooks to research fun games to play outdoors, teach one another new presentation programs (such as Prezi), and to research abolitionists for our unit on the Civil War.
