In writing, students continued working on persuasive speeches. We are practicing reading our speeches aloud with expression.
In reading, we introduced a new unit on poetry. Students created festive limericks today in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
This week, students also worked on a project related to our social-emotional curriculum, Superflex. We have been reading about the "Unthinkables," a team of super-villains who make us behave in unexpected ways. Students reflected on areas of school behavior that they have the most difficulty with (staying focused, keeping organized, maintaining a positive attitude, remembering assignments, speaking up, etc.). Students designed their own "Unthinkables" related to these aspects of school behavior, and devised strategies to defeat them.
