Accelerated Reader Team Challenge

There is a program called Accelerated Reader.  When a student reads a book, they can take a quiz on that book.  Accelerated Reader keeps track of your progress and gives you points for the books that you read.

Our class has been divided up into 5 teams.  Each month we have a competition to earn points and get correct answers.  

The winning team for May was Team Sweeden.  (Other winners were team Russia, and team USA.) Way to go!

Persuasive Homework Assignment

This weekend you have a job to do.  Your job is to find a persuasive article, ad, or commercial.



If you have a commercial, you need to email the link to me, Mr. Lee.

Here is a video we watched in class to introduce the idea of persuasion...

Wordo

We sometimes play a game called Wordo. This game 1) has kids practice spelling and reading the Nifty Thrifty Words, and 2) has kids practice listening for prefixes, suffixes, and root words.

I will say a word and the students cover all the words on their card that have the same prefix, suffix, or root word.  When you have three in a row you shout "Wordo".

Here are last week's winners.

Long Division Rap

Math Test Thursday

Good things - Some students were able to do the grade 6 test. - Colby, Sam, Liam, Elijah, Jesse, and other students liked that it took so long so they could read their books. - Extra work could get done. - Keean sat at my desk, and liked the grade 6 Math. - There was a bonus question that was VERY challenging that Tye liked. - Nathan liked that he could study before doing the test. - Kate liked that she had a study sheet with the questions she needed practice on. Madison agreed. - Jacob liked that he could do fractions. - AGV liked the option of doing two different tests. - Elijah thought the test was really easy. - Jesse liked the extra challenge. Things to improve - During the middle some students were too loud. Some people got in trouble. - Jacob would like to try working at his desk. - If students stay put, then they will not be a distraction. - It was tough for some students who needed some help and Mr. Lee was busy.
