It's MISSION time in Room 8!
The class is divided into Mission groups. Each group competes along the game board by doing various activities. The members of a group may work together and help each other, but each student is responsible for their own work. I believe Room 8 would agree that this is a fun way to learn!
Some of the activites have been finding the answers to basic questions such as Who started the first missions? When and where were the first two missions founded? Putting all 21 missions in order on a map...finding out what a neophyte, companario, litter, etc., is. Learning spanish words such as a map is a diseno...a fort is a presidio...etc.
Mission reports are also being worked on. Right now, Room 8 is taking notes on their missions. We're doing it all in class. Once their rough draft is written, they're welcome to take it home to be typed...but parents: Please don't change it at all! I prefer to read Mission reports written by 9 and 10 year olds...not 30 & 40 year olds!
