Estimation Station      By Mary and Dahlia Our class started an estimation station!! This is how it works!! 1. First our teacher fills a little jar with something or puts what we are doing in math. 2. Then on the paper we estimate how many things w e think are in the jar!                  3. At the end of the week, our teacher looks at the paper to see the winner!      4. Whoever wins gets to pick a prize out of the prize bin! Can you estimate how many letters are in the two jars?      

Splash Math By: Zack & Rikkie Splash math is a math site where you can learn grade 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 8 math. You can put in certain things for the kids to do such as addition and subtraction up to a number of your choice you can do place value and read don't forget rounding! If you are a teacher, the kids in your class will love it because when you answer you get coins. Coins are for buying animals and fish. The animals for the kids jungle and the fish for the aquarium and everything costs 20 coins. You get three stars from answering all the questions. Once they answer all the questions they will complete that task and they can just use it for practice if they want! We like splash math because it's easy and when you go back on splash math you can resume what you did. It is a good site because it helps you learn better and every time you play it you will practise math strategies. Splash math is cool because when you try each strategy you move up a leve...

Class Drama Circle By: Georgia Hay Our class drama circle is super fun and super cool.The one time we did a circus one was so funny. I remember I was a clown. If you don’t know what a drama circle is, you probably want to know so i'll  tell you. A drama circle is when everyone has a card that has a number on it. Ours went up to 40. Usually there will be a theme. We did 2 drama circles. One theme was Olympics and the other was a circus. How you play: On the card there will be one or two sentences that either tell you what to say or something to do.Then you go into the middle, play your role, then go back to your spot. Then the next person goes.           It was real fun! I hope you try doing a drama circle with your friends and family. I guarantee you’ll have fun too!

F.I.A.T. Fish In A Tree The characters: Ally (which is the main character) Albert, Mr. Daniels, Shay, Jessica, Oliver. In our class, we are reading a book called Fish in A Tree. In the most recent chapter we learned that Ally has dyslexia and Mr. Daniels is trying to help her by playing chess. We learned that Ally is really good at chess. She beat Mr. Daniels several times! Ally is really good at chess because she is good at thinking in different ways that we wouldn’t think of. By:Kai
