Today was our first day trying out Nintendo Labo. Today was all about figuring out how to navigate the program and fold the cardboard. And more importantly, it was about figuring out how to work as a team! Students realized very quickly that when one person started taking over and taking on other people’s roles, it became a case of “too many cooks in the kitchen” and nothing was getting accomplished. Instead, there was just frustrations. Towards the end things were going very smoothly and students figured out how to share and teach with their words, rather than grabbing things and taking over. I can’t wait to go further ahead with this adventure!

We are writing our nonfiction stories digitally! Students are learning how to add photographs and manipulate text. Soon we will be adding audio, and maybe even video! Along the way students are also learning how to add nonfiction text features to their writing, such as captions, labels, and even diagrams! So far everyone has a title page and a table of contents page. Sometimes photographs and illustrations in nonfiction books don't have captions. When this is the case, it's usually because the information rom the main text gives you enough to be able to understand it. To check your own understanding, you can try writing a caption (using a sticky-note). One way to explore how the earth is always changing is to look at rocks. Today we answered the question….How are rocks alike and different? We recorded our observations and we will use these notes as next time we explore what rocks are made of and how they're formed! |
