PBL: Tying it up!
We have been using QR Codes (typing URLs is hard!) to help us watch videos about shoe tying. Using partners as coaches has been beneficial in helping more students be successful at shoe tying. We are learning four ways to tie: Bunny Ears, Ring Way, Wrap Around, and the Ian Knot. How many do you know?
Our class will begin offering our expertise in shoe tying to others at recess in the coming week. We will be making storyboards with Post-its on Monday as we work towards writing the steps for shoe tying for our ebook. The book making will involve the skills of collaboration, communication, creativity, and help us meet some Language Arts standards for listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
As we finish our ebooks we will be publishing them in iBooks to share our learning with the wider world. Look for updates on our progress on Twitter (@RoomC105)!
