September 23, 2014

Homework:
Moon Phase calendar
Read for at least 15-20 minutes.  I will take a status of the class tomorrow to check reading progress.

Yesterday the students received their Chromebooks.  Tomorrow we will spend time getting on different sites we often use like Think Through Math, Khan Academy, Middlebury Language, and Gizmos.  The students will also be adding contacts to their gmail accounts and start sending home emails.

Today was a great day and there are many pictures and videos to see.  Please ask your child to share the field trip with you.  Groups of 3 had an ipad to document the trip.  These groups will use this information/coverage with additional information we will discover to produce a Public Service Announcement about composting and recycling.  They will then use these PSAs to teach the younger students.  A year from now they will use these PSAs to reteach the younger grades.  So, as 6th graders they will produce the PSAs and in 7th will use them the first week of school to teach. They will also be added to our Outdoor Classroom website.
