Reflections in our Journal
We are just about to wrap up our unit about living things and at the end of each unit (as well as throughout), we reflect on our learning. Today, we used our journals to document our reflections. The students were asked to take a few moments to think about what we did throughout the unit […]
What Do I See? (and hear, and feel!)
