Well I have officially been awful with updating our blog this week.  Last night was an accident, I was a bit nervous and distracted my my evening's events.

She said yes!  But no excuses, blog posts must be made!!

In social studies, we took a break and began our introduction to Chromebooks.  We are a very lucky classroom seeing as we now have a Chromebook for each and every student in here.  This is my dream come true as a teacher and I look forward to integrating them into much of our day.  We began by looking at KidsBlog.  This will now be utilized often!

In math we reviewed adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing skills when associated with whole numbers and decimals.

In the afternoon, we returned to our Chromebooks to publish our opinion pieces.  These will be graded and feedback will be given online.  More to come on that.

To end the day, we graded some example TDAs (Text Dependent Analysis) and then our own TDA using the rubric provided on PSSA.  We are getting really good at these!  Even better than the examples provided by the state!
