While it was a fun and important learning experience to create and send peace cranes, it is somehow more fun to receive them! Recently, large packages arrived from Arizona and Hawaii packed with origami cranes.
The students are busy creating beautiful posters to remember this inspiring project.
We also connected with other sixth graders by using Skype. Several weeks ago, Japanese language students at the Mid Pacific Institute asked us our complaints about living in Tokyo. This week, they presented their design ideas to try to solve our problems.
Their ideas included litter cleaning robot dogs and indoor aquaponic gardens!
This week, the Uniters have also been reflecting on their previous inquiry. Each student has an Inquiry Task Organizer which they use to document their learning. This is an important tool to learn data and self management skills that will be critical for their Exhibition.
I look forward to sharing and discussing them with parents on Monday! Below are my slides for the Coffee Time presentation. I look forward to seeing you there!
