Yesterday was the first day of November and also the first day of NaNoWriMo... I didn't start mine yesterday. I was too busy! Only one of my students started his yesterday; he was the only one. And he only got 21 words, so we all have a long ways to go. A few of the 7-8th graders have a good start! My 5-6th graders spent a good chunk of the morning writing theirs. My plan is to catch up tonight... we'll see if that actually happens.
Our day flip-flopped a bit since we were doing a science lab. There isn't enough time in the afternoon during our normal science time to do a full lab, so the kids came up with a plan to get enough time; do Daily 5 rounds in the afternoon and science lab in the morning. We tried that today and it worked great! We cleaned up just in time for lunch!
It was a fun lab... mixing liquids to see if there is a chemical reaction. At the end, they got to explore a bit and dump combinations of things together to see if that effected anything. They had a good time. :)
