Cooperation






We went to the Hall to play a cooperation game. Our teacher told us that we had to get our team and the chairs from one side of the Hall to the other without anyone touching the floor. There weren't enough chairs for each person to sit on one of their own. We quickly figured out that we would have to stand, squeezing more than one person onto a chair, and then pass a chair from the end of the row to add it onto the front so that we could move forward. It took A LOT of cooperation!!!

Writing For An Audience

Maysun worked with some friends and his teacher to edit his paragraph. We wanted to add details and vocabulary that would keep an audience interested!

Writing Paragraphs

Khaia, Lucy, and Taimana each wrote a paragraph about their walk to school. Then they got a small group of friends and the teacher to help them "re-think" their sentences. After brainstorming different ways to add details and stronger vocabulary....this is the finished product.

All For One And One For All





Here we are back again for 2012 - same old school, same old room, same old teacher (well not THAT old), new bunch of fantastic, intelligent, good looking, creative kids!! We have jumped straight into our lessons and look forward to sharing our learning online this year.

We started the year discussing the differences between "Rights" and "Responsibilities." We all have the right to a good education. We believe that in order for ALL of us to get a good education, we have a responsibility to ourselves and to each other. Our motto is - "All for one and one for all." Each one of us needs to focus on our learning so that others can focus on their learning, and ... others need to focus on their learning so that each one of us can focus on our learning.
