This week we continued with 5th graders presenting their virtual wax museum presentations. Many of them did an amazing job. Although this is our first ever virtual one, it sure was different to see them presented this way. I was blown away with their presentations. Kudos to the 5th graders!! They always seem to impress me in whatever situations they are presented with.
As the weeks progress, I see how well the children have been adapting to different circumstances. They are reading and writing and choosing various activities from the choice boards that they have available. They never disappoint and are always putting forward all that they've got.
When answering questions of the day or comprehension questions from something they have read, they should be using the R.A.C. E. strategy. This allows for them to cite evidence, not just simply write an answer. This is something we were working on as it is a skill that they need to acquire. Some children just want to write a simple answer and not back it up, with R.A.C.E. it forces them to have to give details in the answers and refer back to the text.
Flat Mrs. Zirilli Adventures continue...
The 4th graders in my homeroom were mailed a mini version of me and they are taking me on all sorts of fun adventures throughout the days. I have been making pizza, celebrating a birthday, going on walks, ziplining, going for ice cream, playing outside and was at the beach for the first time this week.
I love all the pictures, keep sending them. When all my adventures finish, the children are going to create a slide show of all the different places I ventured out to and all the fun activities I did. I cannot wait to see the final product.
