Theme: Gallery of Gold Stars

Today, I checked students' HW to make sure that they had completed the 3 Theme Application slides from over the weekend.
This was for a HW grade, so please see me if you were absent and want to make the assignment up.

Then, students divided up into small groups to collect statements of thematic ideas onto large pieces of poster paper around the classroom. 90% of students informed me that they were familiar with Gallery Walk activities, and most classes had no problem navigating through the day.

But before students were completely finished with the activity, their final task was to rotate through the Theme Posters once more, and to award a Gold Star (⭐️ ) to the theme statement they believed to be the best.

Thanks, students, for the new wallpaper:
