Hi Everyone,
Well it is almost that time of the year again, time for Presentations of Learning! Our class will be holding POLs between May 27th and June 2nd. On Sign up Genius, please sign up for one 40 minute block of time. (http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D48A8A729ABFE3-presentations) Your child will be presenting for 10 of these minutes and the rest of the time will be a part of a panel asking the other 3 presenters questions. Please plan to show up at the beginning of this 40 minute block, and stay for the whole time so that all students have a panel to watch them and ask questions. For this POL your child will be presenting on Math, Language Arts, and their Project, along with the Habits of Heart and Mind as they relate to each piece of evidence. Math: Students will have a chance to pick one word problem to solve. They will be expected to share their thought process, along with the strategies that they use to solve the problem. I will be giving them several word problems to choose from that represent the main learning goals we have covered this semester. They will also share the Habit of Heart and Mind that they used while solving the problem. Language Arts: Students will pick a piece of evidence that they feel represents their growth in Language Arts this year (ex. Insect Storybook, a book that they read that represents them meeting a new challenge in reading, one of the paragraphs that they are writing with Patrick). They will also share the Habit of Heart and Mind that they used in meeting this Language Arts challenge. Project: Students will be sharing the musical instrument that they created during tinkering time and sharing how they used the design cycle to improve it along the way. They will also share the Habit of Heart and Mind that they use while creating the instrument. We will be writing the POL outline during class starting next week. I will be sending you further updates with specific things you can do to support your student as we get closer to actual POLs. Don’t forget that the dress code for POLs is the same as Exhibition! Please let me know any questions you may have! Other announcements: We are still looking for all kinds of junk to use during our tinkering project! If you have any boxes, plastic, metal pieces, rubber bands, duct tape, wood, cardboard etc. we would love to take it off of your hands! There is still time to register for Summer Camp! We are excited to be offering 4 different fun weeks of camp, please talk to the office or to me for details. Comments are closed.
