Better Together

Kent and I just tried putting our classes together for a Remembrance Day writing activity.  The kids enjoyed the opportunity to work with the other class.  We could have done the same activity in our classes separately but it was better together.  Kent found the idea and we met , did a little planning, produced some notetaking and assessment sheets and got everyone together that week.  Just changing things up a bit and blending the classes went over well.  I also like having the chance to plan things with Kent; we have some other ideas brewing for the novel we are both reading to our class ( I am way behind him) and social studies (we want to pick Jeff's brain).  I am appreciating the push this project is giving us.
