Getting Ready for our Exhibit

Today's blog is brought to you by Miss. Moore. We had such a busy day that before we knew it, it was 3:25!
 We had a great time practicing our presentations with our big buddies today. We discussed beforehand possible questions that we may get asked. We talked about how to appropriately talk to a guest. We also received feedback from our big buddies to help us improve for Friday.

We are excited to share our learning with you on Friday!
See below for some pictures of our Room 2 students practicing with each other and their big buddies.

Preparing our Park

This afternooon as we were building and preparing our park for Friday's Celebration of Learning, we also learned the word cooperation and how to work as a team.

Sometimes this may involve compromise, and at other times, it may involve coming up with a new idea.
