Last week, Will taught his first full day. His lessons were highly engaging. He started off with the math problem you see above. The verdict is still out as to what the final answer is. What do you think?He taught a very useful lesson on Google searching techniques and showed the students "A Google A Day". If you don't know it, Google it and check it out.
Finally, he did a very interesting lesson on unlocking the power of your right brain. The kids were fascinated with the process and the results were great.
Awesome job Will!
Our week started off with a great surge of energy. After our run, Catherine's dad Steve graciously came in to talk about electricity. The students were highly engaged and we got into some great discussions and made some interesting observations. Ask the students about the different light bulbs and how one is better than the other. Thank you for coming in Steve.
We are finishing our work with "Thank You Mr. Falker, Thank You". For the past two language lessons, students have bravely volunteered to sit on the "Hot Seat" as a character from the story. Their job was to play the role of that character. The rest of us asked the character "thick" versus "thin" questions. This is a powerful activity and students learned a lot about the motivations of characters. They are now answering this response question:
Words have power. Explain who you think used their words to triumph. Include specific examples from the text.

My thanks goes out to Tiiu and the class for making my first day fun and exciting. You guys helped me out and we learned a lot!
