Math

Hello again students/parents,

In math class we have just started solving problems using the 12 and 24 hour clock. I have found a fun website that will allow you to practice telling time, A.M. and P.M. time, and telling time using the 24 hour clock.

The website is called "Time" and I would like you to go on and play each section of the game: Telling the Time, A.M. or P.M., and The 24 Hour Clock.

CLICK HERE!!

Come to class prepared to share your experience with the game. We will also play a few rounds of the game in class later in the week!!

Happy playing!

Ms. Love

Measurement:

Overall: Estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies;
Specific: Solve problems involving the relationship between a 12-hour clock and a 24-hour clock (e.g., 15:00 is 3 hours after 12 noon, so 15:00 is the same as 3:00 p.m.);

Cooperative Learning Model of Teaching

Good Evening Parents and Students,

Today in class we learned about cooperative learning as a model of teaching. Today in class we worked in a group of 3 to help each other prepare our slide rocket presentation. There were many steps to the slide rocket presentation so working as a team made it an easier process. It was easier because people were at different stages and we were able to help along the way, and then when we were stuck we were able to get help along the way.

Working cooperatively is a good way to work because it allows students to act as both the teacher and the student throughout the lesson. Students who are less apt to ask for help will receive guidance in a less threatening way working in a group atmosphere.
