Sorry for the looong delay in updating you. Last week brought me three stressful days of 2+ hour after school meetings. Not coincidentally the stress brought about strep throat. So I had sick days combined with yet another 2+ hour meeting yesterday afternoon. Combined with a ½ day sub day today has made the time to reflect on the process of teaching, let alone write about it challenging. Please accept my apologies.
Today was a technology lab day.
Here is what we specifically accomplished.
The highlights were we completed our cycle of learning about basic economics from watching the movie on the Cupcake Company described in Khan’s videos. The students had to write three to four interesting facts that they learned about economics and then share in a paragraph how that day’s economic lesson made them think differently. Based on their observations many of the kids could become future Warren Buffetts.
Library time
Buddy Time with our kindergarten friends.
We helped our buddies and we made our own cherry blossoms trees. The art work looks amazing, I strongly encourage student to enter their individual piece in our DPIE.
Social Studies:
We are learning about the Battles of Lexington and the Concord.
Cargo- students are continuing to receive geometric lessons that will be further complemented in their homeroom. Historically our 5th graders struggle with the geometry lessons on the May testing therefore we are hitting with a rotation lessons and then homeroom lessons.
Math:
Division with decimals
Sorry my computer decided to shut down before I could save today’s three problems that we modeled as a class.
Here is a great video lesson.
Here is a 2nd great video lesson.
Kind regards,
