Friday, January 26 is a non-school day for students.  Have an enjoyable weekend!

We had many students wear pajamas to class today.  We also had an abundance of stuffies that accompanied them on their learning journey!

Today we read chapter 11 in Slacker.  We had to summarize the chapter in the form of a comic strip.  This allows us to highlight the main events of the chapter.  We used Google Drawings to begin.  Ask me to show you my comic strip that I have begun.

In Math, we began creating our own games to show off our multiplication skills.  I need to understand what the following terms mean:

-Commutative property
-Zero property
-Identity property
-Associative property

Ask me to show you an example of each

Friday, January 26 is a non-instructional day for students.

Thursday, January 25 is Fun Lunch Day!  It is also PJ Day.  Stuffed animals are permitted, as long as they are able to fit into a backpack.

We attempted a STEM challenge in science today.  We had a limited supply of materials, and we worked in groups to construct a catapult that would launch a marshmallow the furthest. 

Here are some slo-motion videos of some of our catapults in action.

In Math today, we worked through a logic challenge.  See if you can solve it:

Some of us need to complete a paragraph about the following:

How is Cam's plan backfiring?  Provide evidence from the text to support your answer.

Here are some math challenges we have been working on.  Work through them with your students.

Today in math, we were working a problem that covers a lot of what we have learned so far this year.  How many two-digit numbers can you find that answer the following problem?

We also looked at a website that offers free online read aloud stories.  Here is the link to the site.

Hope every one had a wonderful break!

January 25 will be our next Fun Lunch Day.
