Learning with Mr. G

Hi Everyone,

i will see you this afternoon.  I thought you would be OK with computer lab in the morning – consider it a congratulations on an AWESOME presentation on Friday!

Here is what you can do:

Launchball

Poptropica

Multiplication Games

PBS Kids Go!

Hi everyone!  We have a lot going on in the next few weeks so I put together a schedule to keep everyone up to date.  The only information I do not have is the time and day for the ice cream social.

End of the Year Schedule

Use the Old Sturbridge Village website to complete the worksheet.  Once you are done, play a game of Morris.

I have heard some good reports so far – let’s keep it up.  What’s up with this?

I don’t think that was in the lesson plans….

Hannah, I heard I missed some special attire on Monday and Tuesday, here is a little something for you:

I hope to see everyone soon – I might be back in for a little bit tomorrow, we’ll see.

I heard that on Monday instead of doing our writing, we choose to play some online games….  Not everyone – but I was disappointed to only see about five essays to be submitted.  My expectation is that EVERYONE has handed in their essay by now – if not, guess what you are doing right now? The ones that were done were Sanjna, Nate, Hannah, Jessica, and Eric.  I think Helen had hers on the side – just no signed form.

For everyone else (and for those when they finish their essays) I would like us to start a tessellation project.  To get us started, down this sheet and print it off (the two files are the same except one is in word and one is a PDF):

Computer Lab Questions – PDF version

Computer Lab Questions – Word version

Next use these links to help you answer the questions:

We all survived the first week of CMTs.  The kids are doing great!  Let’s keep giving our best effort!! 

We have also been working away on our movies.  6 of our 7 scripts are done and we have even started filming Pedro Cabral.  Next week should be a busy movie making week.

In math we are working on two digit quotients.  It is giving the kids a bit of a hiccup, so we will probably practice them for the next couple of days.

Homework this week is just reading and the log.

Our Pre CMT breathing ritual.

Unlike Hannah’s definition: Connecticut’s Morning Torture, we got off to a great start on our CMTs with the writing prompt today.  Tomorrow we will have the first reading comprehension fun. 

After the morning test we worked on our social studies projects – we have almost finished with all of our scripts. 

In the afternoon we had LMC, reading practice, and Spanish.  We ended the day play operations war.  It is a math card game that helps us practice our multiplication facts.

Homework for the next two weeks: reading and the log

Today we had a true mystery guest today.  The kids were given clues and then needed to figure out that our special guest was none other than Charles Lindbergh.  They then had a quick lesson in making paper airplanes and then we had a flying contest (I won’t tell you who won).

In other events we had our last day of math lab, our math test, worked on social studies movies and developed our definition for magnetism.

Homework – reading and the log!

Have a great weekend!

Thanks to Mr. Charles Lindbergh (and Mr. Dwyer)!!
