After many technical difficulties we were finally able to find a way to include the Public Service Announcement the Lily Pad production team put together for safety on the playground. Click on the link below to access the video. Enjoy!
Data Analysis
We have been spending a few math periods a week working on creating and interpreting graphs and data. Students worked with their partners to display information about "Places our class likes to..." They analyzed places students like to read, visit, relax, do homework, etc. The information was displayed and students made mathematical statements about the graphs and data.
Today was our last in-class time for students to work on their persuasive writing text. Students have worked hard planning their writing, crafting various leads, making sure they use facts to support their opinions, and have a good clincher at the end. Many students have not quite finished their work during class time. Those students brought their writing home and it is due back in class by Friday. We hope to have a time next week for students to share their writing with their classmates. I was impressed by the passion in the students' writing. Nice work Lily Pad!
