Pin It Socrative!  I'm going to attempt to use this for my next presentation in 2 weeks. Hopefully the teachers will be as excited as the students are to be actively engaged in answering questions:)

My Study Bar

Pin It I know I have blogged about this before, but I thought it needed another mention. I have been using Mystudybar with students working on the novel, Animal Farm. Everything is in one place so that the student soes not need to go between applications and there is a color filter which is beneficial to some of the students.

Take a look here:

Thinglink

Pin It Thinglink is a great way to help students of all ages study or review important content, demonstrate their knowledge, and use as a resource for homework.

We Finished Our Study On Ireland

Pin It

The students wrote a fact about Ireland on their leprechaun's hat.

Pin It Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
My kiddos had an amazing time this week trying to "catch" the class leprechaun!  They formed three groups and constructed three traps. They caught a wee hammer and some green jacket fuzz.  They followed QR codes that revealed pictures of different areas in the school where the leprechaun had been.  Finally on Friday, the treasure was found.

We are currently learning all sorts of wonderful facts about Ireland!
