What a perfect way to celebrate a beautiful Friday!

Germs!!

Today, Mrs. Sanders and I swapped classes so that I could teach her students technology with our new laptops. Our brand new HP laptops, with Windows 10, are amazing, but definitely are different when it comes to logging in. So while I was helping her class, she had my class participate in a germs experiment that involved water and black pepper. The class loved it!

Close reading

We began Close Reading today.   I used Oreo cookies to introduce the readings in a fun way to get students to look at details.  Students worked with their elbow partner, after the first read, to answer the "gist" of the article.  Tomorrow is the second reading where we will "dig deeper" for understanding!

First week 2017

We did it! We managed to get the whole class logged on to our new HP laptops with Windows 10.  That doesn't sound so bad, except we had to restart,  restart again, and restart again! 😀  I'm so proud of my kiddos for persevering and helping each other.   ❤
