Footprint Follow-up

We had a half day of ALERT due to my spending the morning bailing water from a burst pipe in my kitchen.  Whew.  When that fiasco was over and I finally had the kids, we spent some time reflecting and goal setting for the new year.  I am proud of all this class has accomplished.  I can already see a lot of growth and love watching them apply the language and skills of our Habits of Mind!  

We also did some field study follow up looking at a crime scene as a system and sharing about our highlights and takeaways of the trip.  We mixed in some math by looking at our footprints and using them to predict our height.  Students checked their measurements to see the correlation.
