Sorry!

We’ve been so busy videotaping and recording our podcasts, that we’ve neglected our class blog.  But if you visit our website, we are trying out a new blog that is linked to our website. Hopefully, you’ll see students posting soon on this, stay tuned! :)

Thursday, February 7th

Brent, Lindsey, Jared, and Jilyan went to the technology fair. We did lots of stuff on the smartboard. We ate pizza for lunch.  We saw 6th graders taping on the computer. There were “beebots” there.  They are little robots.  We had so much fun! We would like to go back!  – by Jared

First, I did a handshake in morning meeting. Second, I played beanbag toe tag in PE. In music, we heard Japanese. Third, we learned how to podcast. Last, we got to see Mr. Mathes in his office.  We had a video conference and read him a poem.  It was really exciting! – by Drake

Thursday, December 6th

At recess we couldn’t go outside because it was snowing. So, we played games inside! Our goal in writing workshop was to write a whole story during class.  Most of us could do it! In social studies, we learned about animals that live in South Africa. During math, we worked on graphs.  In reader’s workshop, we made text-to-self connections with our books.
