Happy Wednesday…..
This week has been flying by as we kick it up a notch with some final assessments, roll out using our Chromebooks even more and we work earnestly on our Common Core write-ups.
Today all the kids brought home important paperwork for Outdoor Education week. We used three different colors so you can make sure to fill out all of this great information. The generic field trip form is two-sided and also contains the climbing wall release form.
We had an early morning discussion about camp, then we discussed how www.ixl.com, www.scootpad.com , the typing program and www.khanacademy.org all give nice little “report cards” that show the time spent on them and what is their completion effort(s). While walking around servicing the needs of 32 students can keep me somewhat distracted regarding if students are on the correct websites, the report card reports will help with those students that need that type of encouragement.
We also discussed about the merits of these programs and how they help us all practice and build up our skills. This article really does state this distinctly:
If you have time it would be great if you could ask your son/daughter what are the websites that we use and what do they find effective or not effective.
We did learn how to move a folder into your Google Drive, how to copy and create a Google document and then they began working on their Common Core product. We reviewed how to cite and make reference to materials and we also re-reviewed how citing where your facts/information come from are key components of the new Common Core.
Students were given 45 minutes to start that today.
We also reviewed yesterday’s multiplying a decimal number by another decimal number. We then previewed tonight’s homework of dividing a decimal number by another decimal number.
We did earn a super job with our rotation into singing today. It is great whenever the class can express that type of respect with Mrs. Jones.
Finally we ended the day with our monthly math project and our weekly math project.
Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard
