What We Learned Today...September 18th

Learning using the iPad

Unfortunately Mr. Bresciani was away for the morning at PLC meetings so the students had a Substitute teacher. During the morning the students continued to work on the "Mars Rover" assignment for the first half of ELA. For the second half, the students read the article "Welcome to the Global Village" and answered response questions on a handout. To end the morning, the students had an awesome time being physically active for an hour in Phys. Ed.

After lunch we began to examine the definitions of some Biblical words that we will see in the Biblical Passage: Acts 2:1-15. (We are examining this passage because of it's connection to expectations). At 1:15 Mr. McCulloch stopped by to teach the students an interesting lesson in Health and Career Guidance.

Using an iPod to search google

During Recess, Mr. B got some exciting news....The students computer accounts were FINALLY READY! So rather than work on Math Computation today, we spent the hour learning about what Goods and Services are and where see them in our communities. They followed the directions on the Goods and Services handout in order uncover the answers and definitions using the various forms of technology employed.
This was a really exciting lesson because not only did we finally get on the laptops, but we were able to use the School iPads, iPods and Cell phones to extend our learning. Students were also able to use their electronic devices to participate in a survey on Goods and Services and watch it update live on the SMART board at Poll Everywhere
