In math, we wrapped up PSSA preparations with practice explaining how we achieved our answers. We then paired up with Mrs. Bigenho's crew for an Around the World vocabulary activity.
PSSA MATH MONDAY!!!! Get a great night's sleep and quality breakfast in on Monday.
In the afternoon, we began our new writing project by partaking in a back channel discussion. A back channel discussion is a chat room designed to engage students in the topic they are learning about. I could not be more thrilled with the maturity and thoughtfulness of this class. WOW! I was beyond impressed with their comments and questions.
See our back channel here. Please do not add any further comments.

Our newest topic is about killer whales in captivity at SeaWorld. Most specifically the whale Tilikum. Should he be held captive or should he be released free into the ocean? Over the next few weeks we will research various documents and documentaries on this topic to come to our own personal opinions on the subject. We will also be doing a great deal of sharing via Google Docs with our note taking and drafting.
As I have said before, I am beyond thrilled to get a set of Chromebooks for our classroom. This is a resource I never dreamed would come true and I am going to utilize them while they are here!
