A Scavenger Hunt, Summer Mementos, and More...

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 10-2 boys have been working very hard so far this year.  First and foremost, we have focused on learning new routines, while also getting acclimated to our classroom and the Tenth Age hallway.  During the first few days of school, each of the boys had the opportunity to share a summer memento with their 10-2 classmates.  These discussions sparked many stories about a variety of exciting summer experiences!  The boys were also introduced to 10-2 classroom jobs, worked on organizing their homework binders, explored math games on the iPads, and read about Paul Bunyan, John Henry, and Pecos Bill, as we started our American Tall Tales unit.  Together with Mr. Mascuch's class (10-1), the boys also participated in an exciting "scavenger hunt" to learn more about their classmates.
