We are following the Iditarod Race Online in reading class this week as well as reading Akiak, the tale of a brave sled dog during the Iditarod race. Each student is cheering for a musher and his or her team to arrive in Nome safely!

Digital Citizenship "Think Before You Type"
We spent time today discussing digital citizenship. We determined that there are certain rules, "netiquette", which we should always follow online. We created our classroom's digital citizenship rules, displayed in the wordle to the right, then wrote them on the Educreation applications on the ipad to make this short video.
Please take the time to review these at home with your son.

Fly Prezi Presentations
In preparation for our "When I was a Fly" composition, the boys took photographs of three places that they would visit during their fly travels. The boys then uploaded the pictures and created Prezi presentations, mimicking the flight of the fly. We will begin presenting these Prezis in class this week. Below are the first three presentations of the week.
Terrific job, gentlemen!

March Reading Madness
Today we joined the entire lower school in the auditorium for an assembly to kick off March Reading Madness. This was very exciting, and many of the boys were eager to begin their reading as soon as 3:00 struck! Below is a short video of the assembly.
Happy Reading!
Multiplication Fact Quizes
We have spent lots of time working to understand why multiplication works, but it is also important for us to practice our facts so that we are able to quickly recall them while solving problems.
Below is an online fact quiz that we will be working with today to give us an idea of which facts we are comfortable with, and which ones we need to practice more frequently. Feel free to try it at home!
