They can choose to save or spend their remaining Eagle Bucks on Friday at the Eagle Buck Store. The store has snacks, gum, fun erasers, squishy balls, and many other items for purchase. This is one step the Eagles have made to take ownership of their studio and uphold the Contract they created.
Last sesssion in Writer's Workshop, August won the Pitch a Field Trip challenge. So on Tuesday, we all gathered our money, loaded up in cars, and spent some time at Unique Toys. The Eagles had a blast and brought home all kinds of goodies!
Many Eagles have completed their work in Code.org for this session's Quest! It took 4 weeks of hard work, dedication, and some help from their peers. Next week, Eagles will move to the next phase of this quest; programming real robots!
Eagles have been setting their eyes on excellence in Writer's Workshop. They have focused on ways to improve their piece and assure it meets the critieria of a formal letter. Next week, Eagles will begin the process of revising and editing before mailing their letter.
This week in Drama, the Eagles started with a game of Human Knot- where they made a circle, grabbed a fellow Eagle's hand, then worked together to unravel themselves. They learned about props and how to use them when acting, then finished with a game of Statue.
Wednesday, the Eagles were challenged to work with a group to create the tallest structure using marshmallows, toothpicks, and wooden skewers. We then had a Socratic Discussion about what aspects of teamwork helped or hurt their group to build the tallest structure.
We ended the week celebrating the hard work of following the Rules of Engagment on the carpet. Many Eagles relaxed by finding a comfy spot, a snack and watching Wall-E. It was a perfect end to the week as we move on to coding robots on Monday.
