Hi everyone,
Our second week was much cooler in temperatures and afforded us time in the outdoor classroom every day. We are so grateful the rain held off until the evenings. Students were introduced to their hammocks this week and we discussed the important CSR behavior needed in order to use these hammocks as successful learning spaces.
This week we also spent a lot of time completing our Second Step social skills curriculum. Students are learning about aggressive, passive, and assertive tones as well as how to show empathy and compassion toward others.
This week we completed a new writing project based on the book, The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald. Students identified the most important body part on themselves and described why. Each student will be taking home a book of our work together. I will also be sending out an audio version of this work in the next few days.
Lastly, students participated in ALL block. This year the Hartford School District has adopted a new language arts curriculum to address reading and writing. Within this curriculum is a section titled ALL block. During this time, students will need to rotate through stations, completing work independently, in small groups, and in partners. This week we focused on learning those routines and expectations through poetry, hammock play, and small group second step lessons with Mrs. Raney.
Here are some pictures from our week:
