Thursday April 30, 2015

Happy Draft Day!  Today is one of my favorite days in sports, the NFL Draft.  Something about the draft has always captured my attention and its always fun to see how players turn out.  SKOL VIKINGS!

This morning, we wrapped up our author's purpose study with the story Lunch Money by submitting analysis through Google Forms.  Always trying something new out on these Chromebooks!

Next, we continued to work on our nutrition PowToons.  Things really came along today as organizers and facts really came together.  Tomorrow we will really dig into the creation side of this internet tool.

Later in the morning, we looked at finding fractions of fractions and multiplying fractions.



In the afternoon we began blogging about the ending of MBSiD, organized for our Tilikum opinion essays to SeaWorld, and finding author's purpose in literacy circles.

** A little FYI about the Seaworld signed release coming home.  We will be Skyping with SeaWorld trainers on Monday and they asked us if we could be used as a promotional Skype talk to raise awareness to other schools about the Skype chats.  Please sign these and return these so your child can take part in the interview Monday.  If you have questions please email or call.  If you choose not to sign, we will not have your child in the view of the Skype camera and if we do not receive a ton of these back, we will drop the entire taping procedure all together.  Here is a direct email quote from the SeaWorld trainer about what those releases are:

"I noted earlier, we are all set for Monday! I know this is a bit late in the game, but our marketing team will be filming some of the ‘action’ on our end and we would like to include some footage or stills of the class as they take part in the session for a potential blog post. In order for us to do that, we would need each participant to fill out one of these releases. Do you think this is a possibility?


We are hoping to raise awareness for teachers out there that we have these sessions available to interact with our whales and trainers and allow their students to ask any questions."
