Online Stop Watch

Online Stop Watch is an website where you can basically have an online stop watch! Online Stop Watch is a good website for kids because when you get home from school and you have to read 20 minutes for homework. You can use Online Stop Watch so you can time yourself so you don't read under 20 minutes or more than 20 minutes so you have time to do your other homework and other thing like play with friends or siblings. Also, you can time yourself and your friends. Let's say you and your friends wanted to try the saltine challenge you could time yourself and your friends to see if you can beat the challenge.


I would probably give Online Stop Watch a 3(Good) or 4(Great) because you don't always you Online Stop Watch it's not your average website. When you do use Online Stop Watch it is very useful. Don't you agree? Mrs.K uses it all the time to time us on our work when the timer is out it makes an alarming noise so you know the timer is out when you hear the noise.

Fact Monster

Fact Monster is a very educational website for all grades and ages. One reason it is great is because it has all subjects, but mostly math. Teachers and students can print worksheets or work online.  You can choose what level of difficulty you need to study by using the grade option. My rating is a 5 (AWESOME).

Here is the link to the website.  Have fun playing and learning!

BETTER...

  This week we started MAP testing. Today we did language. In science, we just finished the candle experiment. The EQ (essential question) was how matter changes from one state to another. In the case of the candle, matter went from solid to liquid to gas. In math, we are doing big word problems. We are using different strategies to figure out the answers. In reading, we are doing DRA (Developmental Reading Assessments) to determine our instructional level in reading.
  We are still in need of playground equipment for our class. Tennis balls would be great!:)

                                    Love,
                                          Lauren

GETTING INTO IT!

Our class is getting better at teamwork. We are helping people out but there are still some bumps in the road. Right now in science we've been having a lot of fun. The experiments, like are lava lamps, are the best! In math, we are using 5 step problem solving to help us do story problems. Also, everyday we are reading books for Read Across Kentucky. Our class thinks this year is going to be great!

                                                                                  Love,

Read Across KY

We have been diuscussing Read Across KY in our classroom over the last 2 weeks.  Students have reviewed the different genre types, so that they can pick books with a purpose this year.  As a class, we read the book "Do Onto Otters" and then worked together to right a reflection using CEIEIO.  Students were supposed to bring these examples home to use as a model for writing their reflections for now.  Below is an example that a student has turned in.  If you click on it it is much eaasier to read.

 

Students remember to choose a correct prompt to answer about your book and use the sentence stems in your writing.

Read Across Kentucky Reflection - C – E – I – E – I – O

C * Change your prompt into a topic sentence. (Pick a prompt from the front page.)

E * Use evidence from the text. (In the story it said …)

I* Interpret the above evidence. (Clearly, this shows…)

E * Use evidence from the text. (Another part of the story said …)

I* Interpret the above evidence. (To me this means…)

O * State your “Oh” or “Aha” moment. (From reading and thinking about this story, I now know…)

Evidence Sentence Starters:                                     

In the story…                The author says…                    The story states…                                          

In the text…                 The text states…                      The author states…                    

Interpretation Sentence Starters:

I know…                                   This shows me…                            This means to me…

I believe…                                It is clear to me....                          I think…

Oh Sentence Starters:

I learned…                   Now I realize….           I am beginning to think….
