As a fun way to prepare for our spelling test, we worked with partners and student whiteboards. You wouldn't believe how quiet the room was when they prepared. They took this time very seriously.
Technology Time
We have 40 minutes of scheduled technology time with Mrs. Hooper every week. This past week we completed our i-ready.com diagnostic tests. This means that students can now use i-ready.com at home. Please use the link to the right to logon and practice both math and reading concepts that are individualized for your student.
In addition to the scheduled technology time, each classroom can sign up for open lab times. This past week we used our time to finish our i-ready.com tests. This coming week we will be using our open lab time to create skits for our Socktober videos in Social Studies.
Place Value
We are working really hard to read, write, and understand large numbers in terms of standard form, expanded form, and word form. We have also compared numbers using >, < and = signs. One way to practice place value is working with new numbers and changing the digits around to get the largest and smallest number. We did this as a whole group. Students were very engaged in this even though they were a little hesitant about the concept. By the end of the week, we got pretty good. We will be working with place value again this week.
