Yesterday we had a school-wide hands-on day where instruction is focused on hands-on learning and group tasks. Our theme yesterday was "Angry Birds" and Studio 214 had a ball! We had a reading station called "Angry Verbs" and students had to create compound sentences, using conjunctions, verbs, and a direct quote. We still have some students who are struggling knowing when to use commas, etc. when writing sentences like this. We also had a couple math stations where students rolled angry birds dice to create four digit numbers. These numbers had to be subtracted and then students had to use the opposite operation to check their answers. There were also some science stations too that introduced the beginning vocabulary of force and motion. We used a homemade sling shot and an angry bird to see what the words meant in real-life.
