Google Chrome in the Classroom!

Recently, a sweet treat was given to our classroom on loan for a bit! It has been amazing just having one additional computer in our class. When we rotate through centers in math and language arts, now each student in the group is able to utilize the classroom.

The very first hour we had the laptop in our classroom it was put to use. We even had the chance to make Prezis reviewing what we recently learned in Social Studies! It's so nice to have everything web-based, so we can access it from any computer.

Technology is so useful to each of our students. In a huge way, it's how they learn and apply their knowledge daily!


 

Boosterthon!

Parents,

Thank you for your support of this year’s Boosterthon Fun Run! We are halfway through the program and the Boosterthon Fun Run is quickly approaching. So far as a team, we are up to $24 per lap. Our goal is $70 per lap. We’ve gotten pledges from 4 different states!

The students are having a blast learning about MAKING GOOD CHOICES through the HIGHWAY USA theme! So far this week, we learned about how important it is to CHOOSE LEADERSHIP by being bold, setting a good example, and strengthening others with our words. Our class was also challenged to CHOOSE CHARACTER by making the right choice, even when no one is looking.

I hope that you are logging-on with your students every night and watching the Highway USA music videos, as well as getting pledges to help our school.

This weekend is a special challenge—the “Weekend Challenge.” Any student that gets $2 per lap OR $50-70 flat donation over the weekend, will receive the bonus reward "Neon Glow Ball" on Monday. The students are super excited to rise to the challenge!

Thanks again for your help and support of our class! Let’s work together to finish strong and reach our goal as a team! I’ll see you at the Boosterthon Fun Run next week!

Have a great weekend!

Boosterthon is back!

Our annual Boosterthon kicked off today! We enjoyed a rockin' pep rally and received our Boosterthon Pledge Cards. Don't forget to head over to www.funrun.com and put in your access code! We DEFINITELY want recess with the Boosterthon crew! 

Dividing Fractions

Dividing fractions happens in real life all of the time. I have used these skills while sewing, cooking, and measuring when building things for my house. Can you think of any places you'd use the skill of dividing fractions?
