Today we: learned how to print on the new system! Students worked on their good copy of their Lorax letters and some were able to hand in their good copies. The students who printed became the class "experts" and helped the following students learn how to print. It was an excellent way to give autonomy and leadership.
It was another blue day, so with indoor recess, we watched a Bill Nye video about electricity to prepare them for the new science unit. A quick game of wax museum helped get some energy out before beginning math.
In math we reviewed the Statistics and Probability unit. We discussed some review questions and they did Think-Pair-Share to find the answers, then we discussed them as a class. We touched on double bar graphs, data collection, and the likelihood of events in numerous scenarios, such as drawing letter tiles from a Scrabble bag.
In the afternoon, students began their Electricity science unit by doing a research project on the chromebooks. They were given 2 websites to look at, and a google document to record their findings and consider big world ideas, like what will happen if we didn't have electricity, and how would it affect our daily lives.
Students were assigned a specific set of tasks on Prodigy on Statistics and Probability. They were able to have some time to catch up on any assignments, complete work, and then practice their math skills through the prodigy games and challenges on the computer.
