Today was used mostly as a catch-up day - the majority of students needed a bit more time to finish their "Awesome Story" since they are doing such amazing work. I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far! For those students who didn't finish today, they can still submit it to Canvas.
There was also a "review" component to the day since next class is our assessment. For the first time this quarter, the unit has only a "Do it" part (skills) and not a "Know it part (vocabulary and concepts). The students were excited about this, and if past performance is correct, that means they will all get great score next class! As for the review, it was a list of the required skills plus the challenge of having to recreate a penguin made out of circles and triangles!
