We had an exciting day today at Lego Land. Our creative learners had lots of fun building and creating.

After a nice long weekend, we hit the ground running today in room 107. During math today we used Pear Deck to learn how to do "Bow-Tie Multiplication". We have learned several ways to multiply numbers these past few weeks. Students have enjoyed learning to multiply "BIG NUMBERS". We also participated in our Guided Math Routine. Similar to Daily 5 students work independently while I work with a small group of students. During this type some student chose to work on Front Row (Please see our previous blog post regarding Front Row). In literacy we learned about past, present, and future verbs. We began the lesson by taking a short quiz using a program called Socrative. Socrative provides the students and I immediate results of their performance and allows students to work at their own pace. I shared the students "grade" with them. We then completed a verb scoot. A scoot is a fun activity that allows us to move around the classroom answering various questions. After discussing these questions, we finished the lesson by taking the quiz again. We compared our first quiz to the quiz after learning more about past, present and future verbs. Guess what? Almost all of us did better. We were so proud of our accomplishments and our ability to compare our data. We have begun using a software applications called Front Row at school to enhance our math curriculum. The program is designed to help each student practice Common Core aligned mathematical skills at his or her level, making sure every student improves at math.
Similar to X-tra Math, the computer monitors and tracks student growth. Also, I am able to see when students login and what they work on. Students are encouraged to begin using this application at home on a regular basis. Login Information First Name : First Name Last Name : First Initial of Last Name Class Code : 3f3y5m With the new year upon us, we have new technology in our classroom! We have begun our 4 week iPad pilot. We will be enhancing our curriculum by incorporating technology in a variety of ways. Please follow us on Twitter and check our blog to stay current with the happening of our classroom. In addition, much of our work will be posted to Google Classroom.
