Week of Oct. 17

Free slideshow made with Smilebox Monday- We practiced our bus evacuation We Skyped our buddies in Illinois and asked them some questions about their school and state. We decided to create math videos to share with so that other students can learn more about math. We started with how to divide and how division connects with multiplication. One thing that was interesting about our Illinois buddy class, was they don't have a hot lunch program at their school. Each student (k-5 school with at least 5 classrooms in each grade) brings their own lunch every day. They were very impressed with our lunch program! Tuesday- We continued with our NECAP tests. "I thought it was easy!" says Will. We played a fun game called Missing Factors in math. It helped us by using arrays to find the quotient. In music we sang songs. We got a new student named Ceilidh. We are happy to have her! Welcome to our class Ceilidh! Wednesday- We went to the library to get new books. We played tennis! It was very fun! This was a celebration for exceeding our pawsitive goal. We practiced getting to the closest multiple in math. Ms. Minor taught a lesson on creating multiple towers. I thought it was fun to see how many multiples my body was! Mrs. Randall invited Mr. Bouchard in to tell a cool story about the legend of the Wolf Cow. It helps us remember the 14 counties. Groups worked together on our science models to show rotation and revolution. Thursday- In art we learned about radio symmetry In math we played division math games from our class web site. There is one really fun game that you have to put a bunch of numbers in a division equation to make it work. Our class chose a news reel for our math video and we put it together and posted it. We worked on using our spelling words in Spellingcity. We typed sentences using our words. In social studies we are researching a county that we chose. It was fun to use GoogleEarth to walk the streets in our county! We don't have school tomorrow! Have a great weekend! Will and Josh
