Technology Tuesday

Today Team201 met their i pads.  We had a few glitches, but most students were able to log on to edmodo successfully.  This week's reading selection, Because of Winn Dixie, is posted as a pdf attachment on edmodo. Filter the posts by "assignments" and you will see it.  Or, just scroll down.

Today we....

  • discussed and practiced using our cardinal directions. 
  • tackled our Math problems- of- the- day.  
  • shared our Owls.  Thanks for your hard work on these!  They are wonderful and will really help make our classroom ours.
  • went to Music Technology with Mr. Fahrenbach.  He helped the kids explore a new program.  201 kids were composing music today!
  • used ipads and edmodo to read Because of Winn Dixie and to become familiar with our vocabulary words.
  • handed out our brand new My Math textbooks.  We are still waiting for a few editions to arrive.  5 students are working from a photo- copied packet.  I expect the books to be in my hands by the end of the week. Yeah!  They just arrived!
  • awarded prizes to students who arrived to school with a signed Gold Card and 100% homework each day in August.
  • received a Focus Skills  page that contains this week's words, focus skill, and essential questions. Keep this posted at home or in the Homework Folder.
Tonight at home....
  • In your math book or packet,  please complete  My Homework, found on pages 15 and 16.
  • Read pages 207-213 in the Science Packet: What are Natural Resources?  Complete all activities, within those pages, including the Active Reading.
  • Read for pleasure and fill out the Reading Log.  You do not have to write a reflection tonight.
  • Plan your Vocabulary Menu activities.  They are on the back of your Focus Skills handout and are due on Friday.
  • Get your new Gold Card signed!
By Friday.....
