Block 1 Science Star & Mult Review (4th Graders)

Star testing went really well yesterday, I anticipate that we will likely finish today (maybe minus a couple that can continue in the class next door tomorrow). The kids have been respectful and quiet. YAY! WE will go to the adjacent soccer field or do something fun indoors as a reward.

Block 2 The Writing Lab->Story Object

We will be walking to the weather field (if it's nice) and first doing and "object story write". The students will select an object from the box/bag. Then they will develop a story around this object, they could write in the perspective of the object (first person) or add a character and develop a interaction around the object.

This will be a first draft and completely rough, which will be edited and entered into EDmodo later this week. :-)

Sugar conversion visual math

We have an awesome SSU observer who ran a really cool hands on lesson this morning;

THis morning we used our math time to figure out how many grams of sugar convert to teaspoons. This forced us to use proportions, division, and overall critical thinking skills.

We found that for every teaspoon of sugar we have four grams.

We discovered one of favorite students dessert (two cups of sunnyside select chocolate vanilla swiirl) is 17 teaspoons of sugar!!!
