Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun

Hello,

This morning, I booked the Chromebooks and everyone was able to log into their Google Drive accounts, so we can now begin to write and make presentations on our Drives.

We were also able to get everyone onto Dreambox and exploring the activities in the program. The students also had time to work on the activity sheet looking at "Comparing Numbers." The students should complete both sides of the sheet for homework. If the students have completed both sides of the sheet, they can continue to explore Dreambox at home (follow the link on my blog. Usernames and passwords are written in the student agendas.)

Here is the information for those looking to access Dreambox on a computer or a tablet.



For Language, we read "Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun." It's a wonderful story that talks about having the courage to be who you are. We discussed the story and made personal connections. Then, the students mad drawing that represented what makes them unique and special.

Finally, we continued to discuss the concepts of strength and stability in Science, after taking pictures of our structures. If you want to see what the students have created, I have posted the pictures on my Twitter account.
