Being Active in Class

Before Math, we like to get moving.  It helps us to get oxygen to our brains so we can concentrate.  Sometimes we watch this video.  The teacher in the video has the best smile. Click on this blog post to see the video.

Sound, Sound Everywhere

Today we thought about sounds.  We watched a video that shows how sounds are created for movies.

Austin's Butterfly

Today we talked about a true story of Austin who had to paint a butterfly for school.

Lessons:

Don't give up if you think it is bad.  Keep trying.
Specific Feedback helps. That's the kind of feedback that helps you make your work better.
We can have better work if we make more than one draft.
