What We Learned Today...February 24th


This morning we started off our week with a school wide assembly in the gym before heading back to the classroom for ELA.  In ELA the students got into their Dystopian Book Club groups and began reading and working on the Section #3 assignment.  *All reading for Section #3 needs to be completed by Wednesday and Blog Post #3 is due on Friday.  At 10:53 we had Math and the students were introduced to a new approach we will be trying out in Math over the next month.  This new approach is called a "Flipped Classroom" and it involves teaching in a way that sees the students learn new content online through the use of educational videos prepared by their teacher. This is usually completed at home and what used to be homework is now accomplished during class time with the teacher. This approach allows for more personalized interactions with the students during class time instead of lecturing.  More information about this can be found on the Math tab located at the top of this blog.

After lunch we had Science and the students began brainstorming a topic for their Science Fair Project.  I have placed some information about the Science Fair on the Science Tab and I will be sending home a note tomorrow regarding the official date and time of the fair.  During the last hour of the day the students had Social Studies with Mr. Csada.
