What We Learned Today...September 9th

This morning we kicked off our day with ELA and the students spent the first half of class working on their Harry Potter Ch. 1+2 Guiding questions. For the second half of class we switched gears and began to talk about the writing assignments that students will be assigned periodically throughout this unit.  For these assignments students will be tasked with writing response to questions prompts in the form of a blog post, using our classroom group on Kidblog. This is an awesome site because it allows the students to have their own personal writing space that is fully protected because the students need to log into the site with a unique username and password. If you would like to check it out just ask your child to log in for you at the following address: http://kidblog.org/TheBrescianiBunch-3/

After recess the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs before heading back to class for Health.  In Health and we began to look at the importance of Goal Setting and what SMART goals look like.  Students then spent the rest of the class creating SMART goals for themselves for the present term.

After lunch we had an extra Health class and continued to work on Goal Setting for the year.  At 1:10 the students had French with Ms. Bachiu and they continued to look at basic phrases and items in French.  During the last hour of the day we had Social Studies and spent the hour learning about what Goods and Services are and where we see them in our communities. Students followed the directions on the Goods and Services handout in order uncover the answers and definitions using the various forms of technology.This was a really exciting lesson because not only did we finally get on the tablets again, but we were able to use the School iPads, iPods and Cell phones to extend our learning.
