Changing the World

In the conclusion of our Tread Lightly PBL, students created their own "ACTION PLAN" that they believed would make a difference in the world. All students worked on these action plans since before the holidays and when they were finished they came back to school and documented the difference they made in the world by writing all about it and then constructing their own presentation to present to the class and others in the community. A few students in my class actually had the opportunity to share their action plan with over 30 educators from a different school. I will be posting the videos of the action plan presentations daily.
Here are a few videos of the presentation students were able to participate in last Thursday. 

Our Mr. Wonder was able to do his daily "Wonderopolis" talk with teachers instead of students on Thursday. This is him in action! Way to go, Chase!

First, let me take a "selfie"

This week students wrote diamante poems about them"selfies" then took a selfie to go along with it. After students took their selfie we cut it in half and had them draw the other side. Students REALLY enjoyed this activity because they were able to highlight  some of their special features and then write about what they enjoyed doing and what/who they loved. Here are a few pictures.
