Thanksgiving Week

We didn't do anything special in class for thanksgiving week. We had a short two day week and we started creating power points with the students. My partner and I each got a small group and read an animal book to the students. After we read the book we created a poster with cool facts about the animal and questions they wanted to ask. The questions they had we wrote down and showed the students the index of the book and showed them what page each of their questions would be on. After we finished the poster of the animal we went to the computer lab to create a power point. I thought this was a great idea to get students involved and do some critical thinking. I felt that the power point was hard to do with the kids because they didn't have any experience with it and we had to do most of the work for some students. I feel a warm up with the students to play around with power point would have been beneficial and would have created less head aches for us.
