| 5/6 Crew on the old Administration steps on our way to the College of Education's Library to check out books! |
 |
| In the library choosing books to check out. |
 |
| Careful selection requires opinions. |
 |
| Agreeing on a good choice. |
 |
| For R3 or Raucous Readers' Round Up, the kids shared healthy snacks and read silently in class for 40 minutes. ONE of the activities they planned on they day's schedule. |
Here the kids are playing board games with each other. They really enjoyed socializing. This R3 was special because they felt such success in understanding that the behavior of each matters to the benefits for all.
The details in the games are important. Each group spent time going over rules--developmentally justice and fairness are very clear still--very black and white. This will change in the next year especially for the sixth--the word 'relative' will replace the work 'absolute' in many areas.

Contemplation and critical analysis are satisfying things to do.
Keep your kids reading!!!!

The period of the schedule lasted an hour and a half. It worked out well so that all the games got finished. Many of the kids played new games to them. The way the 5/6 talks and listens to each other is something we all could learn from.
