Friday went decently. We had a schedule where you have all the kids that day in short forty minute classes- it is usually hectic and today you could really tell that they were ready for the weekend.
Agenda:
1. Planners
2. Examples of Decade Project Options and then telling me your choice.
3. Political Cartoons
This seems rather simple but it took the whole time with only five minutes for work time and I am pretty sure that we are going to do it again next Friday. Kristin stood back today and let me take the lead which was fine. I was getting frustrated with the kids today because they couldn't seem to calm down and get to work but looking back on the day we did get a lot accomplished and the most important aspects were addressed. I am including a picture of me teaching the lesson and all the kids were laughing at me asking Kristin to take a picture- it was quite funny. On Monday we are seeing a play called Bugsy Malone Jr which is about gangster life in the 192os and 30s- it fits our curriculum perfectly. Next week is another week of research and I am pretty sure that we are going to have to give
the kids time to do a little research when they come back too- we are missing Monday for research and last Thursday had an internet failure so we lost that day too. When we get back from break we will be introducing the 1940s and 1950s. There might even be a field trip to see the movie Hairspray.
