Tuesday March 3, 2015

Jason kicked our morning meeting off today.

After, we continued our colony projects... Sheesh these things are taking forever due to 2 hour delays and days off.  Thursday is our deadline... If we have school....

In math, we looked at the volume of prisms.  Specifically we noticed that rectangular prism volumes can be found by using length * width * height.  Any prism's volume can be found using area of the base * height = volume.

volume of any prism = base area * height

volume of rectangular prism = length * width * height

Heading into the afternoon, we received our new spelling words which are due March 13th.

In writing, students wrapped up their quotations, elaborations and counter arguments in their chocolate milk opinion organizers.  Some groups began drafting using opinion/argumentative language in Google Docs on a shared documents.  This will be the student's first time using Google Docs to write and collaborate so it should be a fun, exciting and beneficial process.  I adore giving feedback to student work in Google Docs since it is so direct, specific and time efficient.

Finally, in reading we wrapped up our target strategy of Sequence of Events.
