The latest from our class Instagram account - Gummy Bear Time Challenge!

We ended off the week by using what we've learned about telling time to participate in a 'Stop The Clock' challenge... with gummy bears on the line! Team Cayden won the challenge (after an evil tie-breaking round that involved 24-hour time, which we haven't even covered yet!) and claimed their loot (although everyone ended up with some gummy bears for their excellent work!). via Instagram http://ift.tt/23kbM8W

The latest from our class Instagram account - Ms. F. and Mr. H. model 'Awesome' writing

Today Ms. Fazenda and I started modeling 'Awesome' writing for our students by writing about our own 'awesome' things. Which of these titles do you think belongs to me? via Instagram http://ift.tt/1Q3wrae

The latest from our class Instagram account - Plickers!

We just started using @plickersapp in Math class today, to see how the students are doing with learning to tell time - so cool! Thanks to @swelbergen (via @mrbridge204) for telling me all about it! #edtech via Instagram http://ift.tt/1KhFdNf

The latest from our class Instagram account - our 'Awesome' board is filling up!

The latest from our class Instagram account - spreading the (awesome) word

In order to promote our 'Bulletin Board of Awesomeness', the students wrote scripts last week to tell the rest of the school about it. Today, the students spread the word via morning announcements and afternoon classroom visits - they did a great job... and our bulletin board is starting to fill up. Stay tuned! via Instagram http://ift.tt/1l3UXwE

The latest from our class Instagram account - Bulletin Board of Awesomeness!

As part of our 'Awesome' writing, our classes created a 'Bulletin Board of Awesomeness', where we've invited the whole school to come and share their ideas of what is awesome to them. We can hardly wait to see what awesome things students and staff will share with us! via Instagram http://ift.tt/1RxZ5nh

The latest from our class Instagram account - 'The Book of Awesome!'

We have started our next 'AWESOME' writing project with Ms. Fazenda's class. We've been reading from Neil Pasricha's 'The Book of Awesome' and 'The Book of (Even More) Awesome'. Mr. Pasricha has a great way of celebrating some of those little things that happen to us in life that make us smile. Our end goal is to produce another compilation book of student writing (as we did before Christmas with procedural writing), with this one about the little things that we find awesome in our own lives. We're starting off by turning our bulletin board into the 'Bulletin Board of Awesomeness', and inviting everyone in the school to stop by and contribute their ideas - today, the students were writing the script of what they will say to introduce the idea to the school on the morning announcements and during their classroom visits. It's been great to see how enthusastically the students have gotten behind this idea, and we're excited to see where it leads us! via Instagram http://ift.tt/1JxdoW9
