Slime!

Happy Monday, everyone!

We were very happy to welcome Mme Champagne back to our class this morning for a very fun - 

and very messy - lesson! :)

Mme Champagne's class is in the final revision stage of their soon-to-be-published procedural writing of how to make slime and we had the opportunity to test their method (step-by-step instructions) to see if the writing was clear, easy to follow and guided us to a successful (and slimy!) final product.

Before getting started, we read through the instructions as a class and Mme Champagne guided us through the new vocabulary. We were encouraged over and over (and over!) to carefully read the instructions
BEFORE getting started.
It was challenging not being able to have a teacher answer all of our questions! We needed to rely solely on the slime instructions and our group members to figure out what to do.

The groups that carefully followed the instructions - in order - ended up with some super slimy slime! The groups that skipped steps, did the steps out of order, or did not take the time to read the steps ended up with some interesting end products!

Later this week, once our messy hands and desks are cleaned up, we will discuss as a class what went well and what we would change/clarify in Room 205's slime procedural writing. Our constructive criticism will help them with their final revisions before they publish their writing.

What a great way to start the week!
Merci, Mme Champagne et les élèves de 205! :)
