Partial -Sums on the I-Pad

We have been working super hard to master partial-sums addition this week. Students had the opportunity to "show" me on the i-pad how to add double digits using the partial-sums strategy. We used an app called educreations to model this math strategy.

St. Patrick's Day Fun!

Last week, we did a few St. Patrick's Day activities in the classroom. We made Leprechaun Pudding, graphed Lucky Charm cereal in math, and some writing!

Taiko Drummers at UMS!

Students seem to be enjoying the artist-in-residency with Paton Sensei (also known as Stuart Paton of the Burlington Taiko Drummers). So far, students have spent their related arts ("specials") time for three days learning about this ancient Japanese art. The final performance will be this Thursday, March 21, 2013 at the Colchester High School. Studnets are to arrive at 6:15 and look for me.
