This is a day when students will say "I have no homework" but don't be fooled.
Ms. Lamb expects a high quality edit of the YWP post where students explained what letter of CARES their novel showed. This should be an ORGANIZED paragraphy with evidence and analysis.

In LA we returned to Edutyping only to discover that many of us don't know our home keys and can't type without looking. Soon edutyping will be part of homework.
Social studies finished note taking for Inuit and we start our own group note taking for our codex making tomorrow.
We had a giant cubby clean out today. They look marvelous. Ms. Lamb talked about our next science fair worksheet. We may not get to it until after vacation. We are quickly running out of week.
On Friday we will be outside for several hours for the BRMS Ididarun. Dress for the weather.
Homework:
ISILT - focus on rockets
Math Page 62 - carefully explain and be ready for a quiz on fractions to percents (like 1/4 = 25%)
Read for 30 minutes

Today we visited the marketplace called Modavi Ville. We have never been before, so didn't know what to expect. Modavi Ville is a market economy designed by the seventh grade. We each got $1000 to spend any way we wanted.
What I did not know is that kids would be purchasing a lot of sugar, or believe me, I would have warned parents and set limits for kids. Live and learn. Ms. Lamb's iblock went as a iblock experiement. We could only purchase wrapped items (no eating) and see who could get the most in 15 minutes. Then we discussed the economy marketplace.
In LA we took a test about the Everglades and started our new word study. In SS, we continued, or started note taking on our Native American tribes preparing for our codex making and report writing.
Homework tonight:
Math: Page 60 (I think)
Read for 30 minutes (everyone has a Native American novel now)
LA: Finish sort 1, 2 with explanation and 8 great sentences
FIND YOUR WARM GEAR FOR FRIDAY!!!!!

Today we settled in with our Native American novels. We spent the remainder of LA reviewing the November reading test in preparation for our reading assessment tomorrow. I explained how we have a standards based assessment system at BRMS. This means students must "prove" their proficiency and I must give them opportunity with summative assessments. Long story short, this is one of them (informational). There will be another (literary) one right after vacation. Also, we shall finish our paragraphs from our first in class novel. These and our reading records will be our main summative assessments for reading.
In social studies, the Magficent group finished note-taking for the Inuit and moved into groups for our tribe research (Iroquois, Pueblo, Algonquin or Aztec) which will begin tomorrow. Hopefully the Inredible group will be all caught up by Thursday.
Homework today:
Math: Page 60 or something like that - check your assignment book
Read for 30 minutes
LA: YWP prompt - you have a hilarious and seemingly unuseful superpower. Explain how you can use it to combat a villain. (Or choose your own idea.)
Remember lessons tomorrow.
Also, permission is needed for our visit the the 7th grade economy of Modaviville if, and only if, you want a henna tatoo.
NOTE: Friday we are spending much of the day outside for a field day school wide activity. Dress for it - snowpants, books, warm coat, hat, mittens, scarf. It's called The I-Did-A-Run.

Thursday 2-12-15 (and Wednesday 2-11 which I forgot)
Oh my, I didn't even realize that I forgot to post yesterday. It's been a busy week.
Here's yesterday's news
Homework was....
ISILT specifically about the lab in science and please print out if you do digitally
Math: Page 44? or something like that and skill sheet was due Thursday (today)
Read of course - 30 minutes
TODAY
Thursday
homework
LA Current events AND make sure you have comments to three people on YWP who read the same book. You will soon revise your post to be a cohesive paragraph.
ALSO, make sure your first science fair worksheet is complete and shared with Ms. Lamb
READ 30 minutes
NO MATH TODAY
Today Mr. Warren, the king and master of the science fair, came to CPR to promote the SCIENCE FESTIVAL which will take place on April (okay I forgot the date, I'll find it and post tomorrow, something like the 10th.)
He did a cool little experiment and answered our questions.
For Ms. Lamb, all Team Energy kids will do a science fair project. Whether they take it to the festival is up to them, but there is a $100 first prize and $50 second prize and everyone gets a pint of Ben and Jerry's just for entering.
Here's the lowdown:
You must have a testable question
see some here Testable Questions
or check out science buddies
We also worked on our novel posts on YWP which will eventually become a strong paragraph about which element of CARES is best exemplified in our novel (cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, or self-control)

Have you parents been wondering about another time you could come to school to help out?
Well, on February 20th we are having an all day outdoor event called The I Did A Run. We could use some parent helpers. Please contact
willie.lee@cesuvt.org or tamara.pless@cesuvt.org if you can help out.
Thanks.

Wednesday 2-4-15
Today in LA we focused on note taking. We used more of our The First Americans book and practiced note taking. The different kinds of notes we found were:
important vocabulary like tribes
things people did like built igloos in one hour
descriptions of things like 40 foot boats with 14 rowers on each side
important sketches like the Rocky Mountains
At the beginning of math menu, Bailey Gordan, our district Ocupational Thearapist came and taught us some movement breaks. Some we can do right in our seats without anyone noticing!
In math menu some kids were finishing their science labs which include graphs of marbles rolling. Some also worked to finish skill sheet or math homework.
Tonight's homework:
Math: Skill sheet due Thursday and page 38
Read your in class novel - finish by Friday or over the weekend if you must
we choose new novels next week
