I can now say I feel ready for the school year! School wide testing is complete, Guided Reading and Challenge are in full swing as well as Title I groups! I am so excited to finally be getting the ball rolling with my Title I students. We will continue to utilize the Leveled Literacy Intervention kits this year! I am so thankful to have receive the "red" kit to use with 3rd and 4th graders this year! The kids really take to the topics presented in the books and we always have a great time reading and learning.
To start the year off in Challenge class, we drove into a unit on Zombies! The students have done lots of fun projects including logic puzzles, research projects, and math brain teasers. Here is a teaser that stumped all the groups: Zombie Ray, Zombie Ted, and Zombie Joe are friends. Ray is Ted's brother. Ted is Jo's brother. Jo is not Ray's brother. How is that? See if you can figure it out!
Check out the pics below of some of the research projects the Challenge kiddos did! You will see a skit being put on about Zombie ants! If you've never heard about them check them out! Very interesting and a bit creepy! Also several students chose to make Survival Dolls! Survival dolls are dolls made specifically to help you in a time of a crisis or for us during a "zombie apocalypse." You hide all of your supplies (food, water, money, etc.) in a doll. Why? Someone raiding your stock pile would be much less inclined to steal a meaningless doll! If only they knew!
