Tone/Mood Skype

To work on tone and mood, we created songs, stories and photos for our pen pals in Mrs. Reinert's class in Illinois. They did the same. Then, students read their stories, performed their songs and showed their photos. Each class then tried to guess the tone and mood. The students were very engaged doing this.

Czech Republic Video

Our friends in Czech Republic made a video for us to learn more about their community. We LOVE it!

Narrative Writing using Dialogue

We worked on narrative writing using dialogue. Students took their writing through the writing process, then they created illustrations and recorded their voices to share with different classes we collaborate with.

Animal Adaptation Presentations

Emma and Lincoln's project on cheetahs

Students have been studying about animal adaptations and analyzing fossils to figure out what the environment was like in the past. For the students' project, they transformed into zookeepers, where they created research questions about their animal and formed some type of presentation. Students then presented their projects to the class as if they were on a field trip.

Here is a link to the website they created. http://cheetahsbylincolnandemma.weebly.com/

Emma presented her farming perimeter project with the class.

Real-World Perimeter in Math

We are working on perimeter in math. Students have been learning how to calculate perimeter and what measuring tools are best used to calculate perimeter. We measured the tennis courts and had a discussion about why it had the certain perimeter it did. Then, we had been talking about miles. We went to the track so the students could understand how one lap was 400 meters, but how 4 laps was a mile. To cap it off, we split the class up and a 4 x 1 relay race. It was a lot of fun!

 

 

 

Math Class Picnic Projects

Some students worked on creating a class picnic. They had a budget, researched cost of item, Then created a presentation for the class. The next step will be creating a schedule to go with the picnic.
