The afternoon of AIMs is always an interesting time. You plan all this time, review for weeks and then you're left with time in the afternoon...do you review more or distress?
In years past I have reviewed more, taken the time to really hammer everything in but this year we're going to relax, distress, and move on. We have three main things that we will be working on (Jackie will be the main teacher but we planned it out together)
1. Rocks and minerals: Jackie had started teaching rocks a few weeks ago based off of the Arizona State Science Standards and because of reviewing for AIMs we never got a chance to finish her unit, so we'll be working on that.
2. Mystery Class: This is a 10 week unit that we have falled behind on so we're going to use this time to pick back up where we left off. Just a tidbit of inforation on what it is for you...there are 10 mystery locations (we're only doing 3 of them) that we have to figure out their location based on their photo period data (amount of time the sun as been the sky) and data clues that they give us. We figured out one of the locations is in Asia and one of them is in Africa, the third one I haven't the foggiest of ideas
3. Picture It: this is a Project By Jen where 24 classes color one section of a painting (Starry Night by Van Gogh) mail their pieces to each other and then you put together your 24 puzzle pieces to make a global art piece. Jackie will be teaching a little background of Van Gogh to the kids and we will be getting our section out to the classes by Friday...fingers crossed!
