Even though the weather can be oppressively hot and humid, one key factor for me to meet my running goals is to follow routines. One of the simplest (but often the hardest to follow through with) is to get off the sofa and walk, jog, trot, run, and so on. Sometimes I\u2019ll spend a slower hour walking with my daughter, sometimes I\u2019ll spend a quicker hour picking up my pace to a podcast, and sometimes I\u2019ll spend what seems like an eternity just grinding out a workout.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many ways, the routines of our learning community mirror these impressions. Sometimes, we\u2019ll spend a slower hour figuring something out, sometimes we\u2019ll spend a quicker hour engaged in learning\u2013when it seems a lot shorter, and sometimes, we\u2019ll spend what seems like forever sticking with our routines. One ginormous benefit of me looping up with this group of students is how quickly and smoothly we re-established routines to get to high quality learning and teaching. And. We. Have.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday this week, we relaunched workshops: Minds-On Math, Reader\u2019s, and Writer\u2019s. In Minds-On Math Workshop, we tuned in to an inquiry on ratios by working with different presentations, applying this to ourselves, personalizing ratios based on our own observations. In Reader\u2019s Workshop, we chose books and dove into character traits. In Writer\u2019s Workshop, we began writing a personal narrative about an important episode with as much detail as possible.\u00a0 In our Unit of Inquiry: Who We Are, we found out about each other through standing maps, a growth mindset activity, and a KWLH chart. We had a great third week and please use the following link for details: <\/span>G6 in Pictures W3<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Home Learning – aka Homework\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr. Nicholson and I have changed this schedule; it works out better for us to provide feedback. We\u2019ll collect notebooks on Sunday and send them out again on Tuesday. We\u2019ll continue with daily Must Dos and Can Do tasks that extend learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

School Events – Important Dates<\/b><\/p>\n

G6 WIDA assessments will take place from mid to late September. Please be reminded that all students must have a functioning set of headphones or earbuds and a fully charged iPad for the dates listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n
