Owen and porter are reading quietly and recording their thoughts. After we lift one of our thoughts to use as the focus of our writing (the A of our ABC paragraph). Then we pull evidence from the text to show the audience (B-back up our statement). Lastly, we give our thoughts to show the importance, or so what? (C-commentary).
Cooper reading his piece on national writing day today
We were Skyping people that live in San Antonio, Texas! It was a mystery skype. We have been discussing our read aloud text on Edmodo with them. They told us the weather was in the high 80s and their school has air conditioning!
People are coming up to answer our questions for the skype.
We just created an account on story bird. We all have diferent personalities and story starters. We choose cool pieces of art to inspire our stories.
# story bird is awesome!
Miranda finished multiplication on Fastt Math! Great job working hard Miranda!! Mrs. Randall danced on her desk. It was so fun!
We read a book called jungle bullies and it taught you about bullying and how you can make change.
The fourth grade gathered to share our presentations about our LCMM field trip. Each class presented their experience and data. It was cool that we were such good fisherman! Each class caught cool fish, dropped the secchi disk to check water clarity, we fished for plankton and looked under microscopes, underwater exploration, used a clear way to gather artifacts from the bottom of the lake, and explored the museum buildings. We shared some cool images from CHMS -they have really sharp microscopes that take images and video.
We made predictions and gathered data after our investigation.
In writers workshop, our mini lesson focused on word choice. We generated many new words in our writers notebook-spicy and bland words. Mrs. Randall surprised us with some hot and spicy chips we ate when we found spicy words and plain rice cakes when we said a bland word.
Yummy words!!
After, we added more words into our quick word and tried some out in own writing.
Mrs. Randall signed us up for a math competition! We can't wait! It starts tomorrow. We had time to practice and show our skills. We are using the website-Sumdog.
We are working on the website Sumdog and we are doing a math contest competing the world.

Today's pod was pretty tough, but we worked through it! Using a table helped us notice the patterns.

We played the game close to 1,000 using strategies -place value.
