Happy Monday From THINK SPOT: Making Things Memorable...

Happy Monday Y'all,

      Today is Monday, December 14, 2015.  Today is going to be NOICE!  I hope all of your weekends were as great as mine was.  Let's think about some fun things that we did so that we can have something to talk about in our Monday Morning Community Circle. 

      Today, since it's such a NOICE day, we are going to finally get to present the things we have read about and learned so far in Beetles & Angels.  Remember our learning target:
I can pinpoint important events and organize them in an objective summary.   
By the end of class today, we should begin to have a clearer picture of Mawi's story.  You are all rockstars and learning from one another can be powerful. 

      One more thing.  Do not forget about SQ3R.  This week, throughout the week, we will try to tackle the "Q".  The "Q" can be the most challenging for 7th graders.  Below, you will find the video for Monday.  We will watch our Vsauce later today or tomorrow.  So, as always, good luck and happy hunting.

P.S. NOICE!

HIGH FIVE FRIDAY, Novel in an Hour, SQ3R, & MORE!

 High Five Friday Gang,

      Today is Friday, December 11, 2015.  Be sure to share high fives with each other today for today is High Five Friday.  Thank you all for a full week of learning, hard work, effort, and engagement.

      Later today, remember this afternoon we are part of the Egyptian Museum Exhibits.  Your work will be on display for you to share your learning with others.  It's an awesome thing to see students learning from other students so be the rockstars that I know you are.  You are the docents, the guides that lead others through the museum exhibits.  You will also get to be the learners that travel through a museum exhibit as well.

      Now, shifting gears to this morning, think back to all the work we have done with SQ3R.  Remember the phases, Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review.  It seems that you are all understanding SQ3R at a level that you can now practice it on your own.  Your skills will be put to the test when we get in front of one another to present our chapters.  Most of you are in the REVIEW phase.  When you are able to recite what you have read by looking back on YOUR OWN NOTES, you know you are heading to the REVIEW phase.  Good luck, and happy hunting.

Love, peace, and taco grease,
