One Month Down

2018-2019 school year is already blowing by. I cannot believe the first month of school is already over! I've been collecting photos of activities, waiting to post a snapshot of September and I can't believe it's October tomorrow.

Here's a quick view at the action in Room 204! (sorry about the emojis and blurs. I make a point not to include student faces on my blog, but apparently lost my photographing skills over the summer!)

A(nother) new layout! 

This was based off of suggestions from last year. We'll see how this year's crew likes it

First Day!

They thought they were going to get off easy because it was the first day of school. NOPE! All my classes were given challenges. We spoke about growth mindset and the importance of embracing challenges and struggles. Here are my 7th graders working collaboratively as they discovered the "trick" to the first challenge I gave them

   

Group Work!

   

  

Scavenger Hunts!

  

Games!

Of course it wouldn't be Room 204 if we didn't play some games. My 6th graders LOVE zombie and have been asking for it every day (can you see a group conspiring in a photo??). My 7th and 8th graders really enjoyed playing our Hidden Treasure game.
