Well that was easy!

I was out this morning with my littlest--her asthma has really been flaring up so we were meeting with the pulmonologist to try and figure out why. Anyway, I wasn't able to give the final assessment-Social Studies, but they said that it was the easiest one they took. That could either be good or bad. I guess we'll know when we get the results! :) Mrs. Richardson was proctoring the test for me, Mrs. Lantz was the substitute and Mr. Buss was there too! I guess it takes a lot of people to fill my shoes! haha After the assessment, they worked on creating book trailers. We previewed a lot of book trailers in voting for March Book Madness and thought they were super cool and creative so I thought we'd give it a try. I'm going to be learning about a new tool, Padlet, next week, to use to compile all of our trailers when finished, and will share them with you when I get that complete. After recess, some students took their decimal math test and others continued with practice. I think they really liked doing this one at their own pace. The rest want to take the test tomorrow so I guess we'll be doing that. I think we'll keep up with this way of understanding concepts. I will have some projects ready to go for those that might need an independent study topic while the rest of the class is continuing to practice. We had special after Math Workshop and then came back and continued working on our fossil stories.
