Community Quilt, sentence scrambles, & More!

Here's our Star sharing her favorite stories!

During Family Meeting we played a game called "Sentence Scramble"! The students were put into teams, and given words to build sentences as a team-building exercise!

We also constructed a list of Special Places in Davis, CA so that we could create a Community Quilt! Here is the list we have come up with! Over 45 places in 20minutes, and the kids were still coming up with more places!

Mr. Kim was our Mystery Reader this week! He shared with the kids a little bit about growing up in Korea and what he loves about these stories! 

Every morning we have a Family Meeting where we build community through getting to know one another, asking questions, and playing games! This week we tried a new game called, "Scrambled Sentences!" Students meet in table teams with a set of words they need to organize into a complete sentence. Once the teams have reached a concensus, the teams post them in the pocket chart, and we read them as a Family! This provides a great opportunity for us to discuss any challenges teams may have had, and answer any questions. 

This week we wrote reflections on what we learned over the month of September and drew Self-Portraits so we can look back and see how we have changed throughout the year! Here are a few highlights:
