Constructive Response

ISTEP (Round 1) starts next week.  This session is composed of constructive response questions, no multiple choice.  

This week Team 184 practiced some strategies for rocking the test.  One of the strategies we practiced was using the words from the question to answer the question.  Also, using ideas from the text is super important!

C3-PO

Do you know what C3-PO stands for in Room 184?  Well, the three Cs stand for CREATIVITY, CAPABILITY, and CURIOSITY.  The PO = Projects/OxBow. 

Once a week Team 184 gets an hour to work on their own projects.  Here are some of the things they do:

• Write plays
• Choreograph dances
• Research 
• Write newsletters
• Create videos
• Art: Draw, make collages
• Create photo montages
• Screencasts

At the end we have a sharing time.  It is fun to see ideas come to life!

Problem Solving

We worked together as teams to figure out how to solve a math problem.  Then we got a chance to explain our thinking to our classmates.  It was hard, but we did it.

We did finger panting next we had lunch and reeces. lunch was pancakes. it was hard to make freinds at that school. "I wish we can have this for lunch everyday." I thought as I ate my lunch.

Santa loves cookies

But Sants is allergic to peanut butter

Santa is just a little allergic to cats

He plugs his nose to go up and down the chimmney

Santa doesn't watch tv

He is not a kangaroo

Santa does not have a yellow sack

He doesn't have real diamonds polished

December is my favorite season of the year
