Hello everyone and welcome to the grade 5 and 6 (G ) class! It was very exciting to meet all of you today. I have a hunch that this is going to be a very productive and creative year. One of my favourite activities that we did today was when I asked you to imagine moving pictures in your head to match the soundscape that I shared with you first thing this morning. Your ideas were all so interesting and different from each other! I bet Steve Jobs would love to have had your input when his team was pulling ideas together for this advertising concept.
CHALLENGE: Leave a post telling about your first day at school. For example, you could talk about your favourite activity and explain why you enjoyed it so much.
I liked the bead activity a lot, it was fun. We had to use our brains to match the bead with the letter of the alphabet to spell out our names. It was hard to try to read other people's names, but it helped me to get to know them and to learn their names.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that even though I was last I liked the name game, I was stressing out hoping that I didn't get a name wrong. I agree with the first person who enjoyed the bead activity although I wasn't good at knowing what the person's name was from the beads. I thought the video that you should us was really cool and I do relate to some of the words that the narrator was talking about. I'm wondering if you are going to continue Writer's World because I really enjoy flipping through the entries posted. If we are continuing writer's world I will gladly write some pieces to be published. I am looking forward to the school year!

Well, I think I liked the "matching of the charms" activity the best. Even though I only met one person, I got to know that person really well. And also it was fun because I learned some things about them and I also learned a false thing about them. It was so much fun to guess. I loved the whole day though and I'm looking forward to the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part was the lie and truth game. i got my partners right the first time :)
ReplyDeleteanyway the first day was fun i hope the rest of the year is like this
I was surprised that everyone enjoyed my video even though i was on a deadline!

I also agree with DonutLover will we be continuing Writers World?
ReplyDeleteSeeing my and others work being praised felt good!

YES, definitely we will continue Writer's World! Perhaps some of the grade 6 veterans could put together an information presentation for the grade 5 students explaining what it is all about!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS everyone for ALL your ideas!
If you want I could put together a Prezi about Writer's World. We all seem very enthusiastic about it and I'm almost 100% sure that the grade 5's would love it. Plus it is encouraging to see your on piece of writing on the blog and I think it will motivate everyone to do better. Plus then if I show them with Prezi it would look cool and we could teach them how to do it for future presentations! If you need someone to make a presentation with me I'm sure we could form a group of 6th graders who could help me with it if you want it to be a group "Presentation!"
DeleteI think this is a good idea,and I'm sure the other Sixes would too!
DeleteI'd be glad to help.
i think the bead activity was fun because we got to use beads and and have fun while learn each others names.
ReplyDeleteI liked all the activities where we learned each others names and personality
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the day was doing the bead activity. It was great fun guessing every ones name using the name tag
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which is my favourite! I`m stumped. It was all to much fun!
