Celebs: Thinking about their Thinking

This week the celebs are learning about Metacognition. Such a big word for something so easy to do! Metacognition is simply thinking about your thinking. When we are reading text, we can increase our understanding and comprehension by thinking about what we are reading. As the students viewed the video reading of Twilight Comes Twice by Ralph Fletcher, they used metacognition to record their thinking on a thought bubble. Check out the video reading and give metacognition a try!

Celeb-rity Cells

Check out the latest Paparazzi Pics of our Celebrity Scientist investigating cells. Their investigations began by examining specimens through a microscope. They looked at salt, poppy seeds, fish scales and even their own hair! Next, the celebs took their investigations outdoors to the J W Wiseman garden. There the celebrities used special outdoor microscopes to get a closer look at what their eyes can't see in the plants and vegetables. The celebs were happy to be back in the cool indoors and put on their best moves as they "Scooted" to cellular music while reviewing the parts of a cell. Our study concluded with a Cell-ebration! The Celeb Chefs created cell cookies of a plant and animal cell. These Celebs can do it all!!
