Base Ten Work

We spent time last week using the EDUCreations app on the iPads during math class to take and manipulate photographs of base ten blocks. The students did a wonderful job demonstrating three and four digit addition together.

War with Grandpa Fluency Activity

In class we have been focusing on fluency while we read out loud. The students completed an activity this week using the EduCreations iPad application. This app (it is also a web based program) allowed them to photograph their page, enlarge the size, underline difficult words or make note of puncutation marks, and record their reading. The students did a wonderful job, and I am impressed by the progress they are making in becoming more fluent readers.

Read Class Activity

We have begun War with Grandpa in reading class this week, and we spent some time today illustrating Peter's room, based on his description from the novel. His room is the basis for much of the impending conflict in the novel, so focusing on its appearance and sentimental value helped our readers understand why giving it up could be so challenging.

Stuart Little Blogging

In Stuart Little, Stuart substitute teaches for the mysteriously absent Mrs. Gunderson. We spent time blogging about what would happen if Stuart was a substitute teacher at Calvert. Terrific job, writers!

Fresh Food Planting

The Ninth Age students showed off their green thumbs during last week's plantings. They gathered on the blacktop to plant hundreds of seeds that will grow to feed those less fortunate.
