Information about Gizmos

New homework for this week:
Poem and Daily Math Problems.   All due on Friday. I have started changing some of the assignments to fit students' levels.  I will continue to do this as I find out more information about how the students learn best. Part of the homework is problem-solving.  What should students be doing when they come across something they don't know? The first thing is to connect it to something they do know.  Then they can decide what resources they have available to them.  Asking for adult help is excellent if they can tell us what they have done first.

Explore Learning: Gizmos

Last week we started using Gizmos.  These are online simulations that the students use to solve problems in math and science.  It is a great way to differentiate instruction.  Visit the website to browse around.

5T goes gleaning tomorrow morning!  Watch the weather!!!!!
