5V Students Collaborating

If you walked into 5V on a recent afternoon and happened to witness us working on our claymation projects , at first glance (or listen) it would have appeared to be chaos. However, once you wandered around and listened to their conversations, you would have seen and heard creativity and collaboration at work.  They problem solved and discussed possibilities for creating the characters and backgrounds for the stop-action movies they "filmed".  You would have seen students using what they've learned through research to create accurate depictions of various Native American geography, dwellings, costumes, and tools.  In short, you'd have seen a great deal of learning.  Yes, learning about Native Americans, but more importantly, learning to work interdependently, to communicate effectively, to apply past knowledge to new situations along with many more of the Habits of Mind (see more info. in a previous post below) that will serve them for the rest of their lives.  Judging by the look on most faces and sound of their voices, I think they were even having a little fun too!

Here are a few photos of 5V students engaged in their work:
