NASA Thanksgiving Thursday

This morning we continued working on our picture prompts.  Once students finished their writing they were encouraged to edit their own work.  After that students were required to read their story to a peer, and listen to their story, and then feedback was given to the stories.  The final process included students self assessing themselves against a rubric.  Please ask your child about their story.

Later in the morning students went to music and gym class.  In gym students played floor hockey and pillow polo, please ask your child about this game.

In math class this afternoon students, after a session of mental math, learned a new math game called Race to 1000/10,000.  Please ask your child about this game.  Also, the below pictures are of the students playing the game.

This afternoon we continued working on our inquiry into Mars.  As a class we watched a NASA video wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from the Space Station.  As well we talked about the process of bringing personal items to Mars.  Please ask your child about this.
