Week in Review

Students finished their Native American project, which was a writing piece about one of the Native American regions.  They decorated a border that included some symbols to go with their writing.

 


We also wrapped up our study of the water cycle.  This is what they made:

Here are a few shots of our visit to the computer lab to work on FrontRow:

Front Row - Math Website

Front Row is a math website that I came across recently.  It is similar to Moby Max, but has a few other components that I like.  I invite you to take a look at it to see if it's a better fit for your child.  I like that it has a video that students can click on if they need an explanation for a concept.  It also allows kids to work at their own pace and work on concepts that they are still struggling with.  To start, there are placement tests for each section of math.  As they work through the sections, they earn "coins" as rewards for their progress. 

They sign in with their name and the class code: uk3vbv

Front Row

 I think it's worth checking out!  If you are able to check it out at home, please let me know how it goes.

The Water Cycle

We have been learning about the water cycle the last few weeks.  We are wrapping it up this week and the students will take a quiz on Friday.  Here is a link to a video and some vocabulary resources:
