Challenge 2, Places to Visit

Part of Edublogs Challenge 2 was to look at a few of the places Miss W would be visiting and recommend places for her to see.  We created a Glogster of what we found.

 

 

The Crow and The Bat

Edublogs Student Challenge 4 Help us create a story:

Once there was a very odd crow, he never crowed,  he ate acorns insted of corn and stale bread and he came out at night.  The odd crow  was talking to a bat one night and the bat was just like him, different. A group of bats came up to them and asked why they where so different and they  replied ” Being different is…

Under Construction!

Sorry for the lack of challenge posts lately. We are all being updated over to Edublogs Campus. We are waiting for many of our posts to convert over.  Any new posts will be found on our new campus blog starting after our fall break. We have lots of catching up to do!

Please update your blog roll to our new class wesbite so you can keep up with the daily happenings of Room 201!

Prickly PearJelly Making

Our class began our study on Native American Units. To kick it off we joined Mrs. Goucher’s class and made prickly pear jelly from the fruit of a prickly pear cactus. Enjoy this video of our students explaining the process.

 

 

New Avatars

We had a blast making Avatars in class.

Waiting for the Student Challenge

As we patiently wait for the new class challenge to start on Edublogs, some visitors from last year may have noticed I redesigned the blog look. If  you look at the top of our page you will see two new tabs; Weekly Journal and Reviews. The weekly journal is a question for my students to answer about something we are learning, but we encourage others to come on over and respond to our questions as well.  The Reviews tab is going to be brimming with book reviews as we begin our 40 book challenge this week. Every week two lucky kids can review a book they have read as we try to accomplish reading 40 books from different genres by the end of the year.  Enjoy!

Science Fun!

We have had a blast so far learning about science this year. We have done three projects so far to help us learn some important science lessons.

Our first project was working as a team to build straw structures. We had to design a structure that would hold pennies.  Watch our animoto to see the fun!

Then we used the Scientific Method to SAVE FRED!

 

We also demonstrated what we knew about plant and animal cells by creating them out of Jello!

 

Have fun looking at our science videos!

Quality Commenting on Blogs

 

With a new school year and a new challenge comes a new class. We learned about Quality Comments today from the fabulous video that Mrs. Yollis’s class made. Here is a wordle about the ideas we got from her video.

 

 

Beginning of School Year

It’s time for school.  The summer has flown by and I am so excited about getting ready for my new 4th graders this year. I am also excited about continuing our blogging journey as well as learning and exploring new ideas in technology.
