Summer Wall 2013

With summer rapidly ending as a brand new school year awaits, feel free to use this wall to share with us what you've enjoyed about summer so far! Hopefully, everyone has had a chance to relax, have fun, and make some lasting memories (I know I certainly have!). Oh, and don't forget to savor these last few days of summer because they'll go by in a flash! (Wonderful former students: what did I just use in that previous sentence? You may be eligible for a random learning prize if you comment below with the correct answer. :) )

Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon!

Highlights Of The Day #13 By Jaden & Mariah

Sorry we haven't been making daily posts we had Map testing.
   Today we have learned about the Civil War causes.We watched a brain pop on the Civil War which was really helpful. Most people in our class was very confused when we worked on our interactive notebooks (used a metaphor of siblings who fight over loud music for the differences between the North and South on slavery). We were in partners so it should have been more helpful, but maybe it'll go better tomorrow.


Now, we're Skyping with our New Zealand pen pals!
Sorry we have not been able to make daily posts but we have not had time because of MAP testing SORRY!!

Here's Issac Skyping with Joshua!

Mystery Number Skype by Lexi and Tanner

We are about to Skype with Mr. Jones' class.

We will ask the 1st question. We ask: Is the number a multiple of 3? They said yes!They asked "is the number even"we said no." Then we asked if the number is even. They said no. They asked if our number was prime. We said yes. They asked if our number is greater than 50. Yes it is! (And by the way, our number is 97.) We ask them if our number is less than 30. They said no. They asked if we had a 3 in the one place. We say no. We ask if their # has a 9 in it. They  say no. They ask if our # has a 9 in the ones digit.  we say yes. They ask if there is a 6 in the 10s place. We say no.They ask if our # is 73 We say no. Then they say is your number 97? We say YES!!!!!!!!!! Their # is not 47. Their ones place is higher than 3. Their # is 57!!!!!!!!! That was SO much fun! Bye!!!!!!

In the top middle picture, that's us while we're blogging. In the top left picture, Austin and Isaac are talking with Mr.Jones' class through our TodaysMeet.  Our goal in this Mystery Number Skype was to guess each other's number by asking questions to figure it out. After asking a question and getting our next clue, we worked in our teams to  use that information to narrow the possible numbers down on our number grids.
It was our first name and it was very HARD, but we had a lot of FUN!!!!!!!!

During the Mystery # Skype, we talked with Mr.Jones' class through our Todays Meet.
This is a pic of the screen as we were reading what they wrote and typing back to them.
