Weekly Learning Adventure

We updated Iris with Understanding Myself as a Learner, Goals and Strategies to meet those goals. Please review my personal goals before the November Parent Conferences.

Math
We did a quick review of factors and multiples and then discussed the importance of friendly numbers in estimation. We typed up our math riddles on Google Docs. Ask me to share them with you.

Here are some great sites to visit for math:

L.A.
We discussed the pros and cons of kids bringing cell phones to school in preparation for a class debate. We continued with The Tale of Despereaux and discovered Roscuro's desire for revenge. Ask me how the Queen died- it is quite the story!

Social
We have started our group research projects and have started completing our planning sheet. We need to start thinking about how we want to present our information. Ask me what region my group is presenting and some facts I have learned. 

Science
We have finished setting up our presentation station of our wetlands. We have completed our peer and self assessment of our wetlands projects. Ask me about receiving and providing assessment.
