On Wednesday we talked about notation. Our focus for math was "how can we use clear and concise notation for recording addition strategies"? We solved addition problems and swapped papers with an elbow buddy then we talked about the strategies.

Our desks are in "families" which means that they are in small groups. We created family names and posters.

The names of the families are: The Thriving monkeys of the wilderness, The no name baboon, the Pugs, The Bengal Tigers.

In Readers-Writes we focused on our weekly reader or our idea for our reps.

We got our weekly readers today.

In science each family researched a focus question from our properties of matter unit.

This is a question a group got.

In this project we learned to work together and how to back up an answer.

Thursday

We had a another P.O.D in which we had to make a table to find the running total, some kids got stuck on that. Then we went to art and came back to math menu.

Then we elaborated on the U.S. algorithm discussion.

Then we played close to 1,000 and talked about the strategies we used.

We went to the lab and worked on ICivics. We each have accounts so we get to practice creating a strong argument. this helped us practice for our own persuasive letters. We also reviewed a document in our Drive that details the criteria for our social studies glogs.

We had read aloud, recess and lunch. Then in science we continued to work on our question that we had to answer. We then wrote a paragraph, using the ABC format) on one of the questions. We continued the paragraphs Friday. Teams presented using the app Notability and YouTube videos.

Friday

We had a challenging P.O.D. We all learned to persevere, use positive self talk and start with what we know. After, we realized that we could solve the problem easily!

In honor of Jackson, Mrs. Randall danced on his desk. He finished Fastt Math!

Congratulations Jackson!

Jackson is done Fastt math so we got to dance and Mrs. Randall got to Dance on the TABLE ! Jackson picked the Muisic smoke on the water. Yes!

We went to the computer lab and learned a new program called Typing club.com to help us get faster at typing. We gave Mrs. Randall feed back on what we thought.

We had an exciting read aloud...stopping in the middle of a part and now we have to read the second book to find out. We now recommend the second book in the series called The Surge! We had lunch after recess. In science, we shared our paragraph that answered our question. Everyone did a great job!

Have a nice weekend!

Yours truly,

Jordan b and Megan.

This is Wednesday's POD. We found 3 different answers!

We practiced adding and subtracting numbers and talking about what we noticed

We buddy read an e-book called The Littlest Knight with another class from New Jersey. One half of the screen was the text and the other half was the picture of the other class. After, we played "mystery skype" so we could both find out the states we lived in. We introduced ourselves to the class. We will be creating a group on Edmodo so we can share documents with them.

We planned a cool science investigation with soda and pop rocks. Playing with carbon dioxide gas is fun!

We recorded our observations and made some claims and shared evidence.

For example,

Coke & orange soda wow look at the differences!!

we Skyped a new classroom in VT! We asked some specific questions and after we reflected on what worked and what didn't work for our next Skype for our VT game. Our new friends are in Rutland county at Killington Elementary School.
