We had a great morning working on the Chromebooks. The students made connections to "Spaghetti on a Hot Dog Bun, talking about times they had the courage to be themselves and not worry what others thought, and times they helped other people in need.
In groups of three, the students brainstormed ideas on chart paper, then they posted their ideas on the appropriate padlet (listed in the previous post). Finally, we got together on the carpet, discussed the connections we made and gave and received feedback, in order to improve our work in the future.
Next, in Math, we continued to explore differences of 10 and 100 and the comparison and ordering of numbers. We started by answering questions on the whiteboards. The students are really enjoying using this tool and I love it because it gives me instant feedback with regard to their understanding of the concept. They are taking it as a challenge, and are so proud of themselves when they can show me the correct response. Once we finished our warm-up, the students used their knowledge to answer similar questions in their Math workbooks. There were working on a double-sided sheet, but it is not for homework. They can take it home to work on, if they like, but we will continue to work on this task on Monday.
To end the day, we finished our art activity that connected to "Spaghetti on a Hot Dog Bun", we had a discussion about recycling (which products go in which bin) and caring for God's Creation.
Finally, if anyone wants to order pizza, please return your form and
Have a great weekend, maybe I will see some of you at the Carp Fair!
