Science cooperative group work


Dear parents, 

The children worked in cooperative groups to complete a "placemat" depicting four different buildings. They were assessed on their ability to work cooperatively as a group. I looked for: 1) positive, encouraging comments 
2) involvement in the group's success and 3) effective clean-up of the job site. Most groups did fantastic, while a few members in a few groups imploded and will need more practice at this. It's all part of the learning process! Working as part of a team is hard work! 

The children did lovely pumpkin patch pictures using chalk pastels during our weekly art lesson. They are on display in the classroom. Come in and have a look. 

Wishing you all a great weekend!
