@Eplings1920 Is there a way we can google meet with our two classes in small group?

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 Some of us are excited to learn in a new way, some are sad because we're not at school and we like being at school, and some are worried we won't learn as much as we do with Mrs. M at school

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 We're going to overcome these obstacles by being brave to learn in a new way, have integrity, bring headphones to our parent's work, take breaks from the screen, always email Mrs. M with questions, and make our google meet times.

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 do my assignments at my parent's work, what if my wifi is slow, how often will we google meet, what if my head starts hurting from screen time..etc..

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 Yaaallll!!! This corona-virus!!! We had a big chat this morning about digital learning. We asked questions and Mrs. M did the best she could at answering them. Questions like how much should we be online, what is our schedule, what if I have to...

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 Can we have our parents follow us on twitter so that can see what we're doing?

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 Yes! We love our math centers! Our teacher station was multiplying fractions, we had pattern games we could choose from, a TLAM/Error analysis station, and our technology was an assignment or adaptive work on freckle.

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

We want to know more about your math and ELA rotations! @Eplings1920

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 Awesome! We just finished reading Avalanches in our small group, we made a brochure using our vocabulary and spelling words, we worked on our book reviews to stack our locker shelves with the collection of books we've read, and we had a freckle assignment on human structures.

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 So cool! We have ours on the smart board. They are also on the cabinets next to our groups so we can remember what they were. There is also a cool digital timer on our smart board so we can keep track of time.

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 We always meet after mindfulness to talk about how our morning or weekend went. We just started doing "shout outs" during our meeting time. Today, Elyse gave a shout out to Nolan for being a great friend in science to help her understand engineering! Cooooool!!!

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 @Eplings1920 we have conferences with Mrs. M too..A LOT! Lol! She helps us understand our work. We use sticky notes to write a star and a wish on a classmate's work and we peer conference during writer's workshop to revise our writing.

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 We loved looking at your growth! We noticed that both of our classes are still working on growing at explaining our thinking. What can you share with us about what you're doing to grow in explaining your thinking? Why does this seem to be such a challenge for both of us?

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 If you could give your class TLAM 2 stars and 1 wish, what would they be?

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 @Eplings1920 we had some people get 1's in equations and explanations that weren't there before. We think we need to be more accurate with our work to be able to explain our thinking better. What do you guys think? What did you guys find?

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 @Eplings1920 as for our TLAM- We found out that our strengths were using vocabulary well and we grew the most in showing our work accurately. Our 3's for correct answers doubled, but we still have work in that area!

[Michelle @McCannFam1920]

@Eplings1920 @Eplings1920 we liked how you gave "shout outs" to your classmates! We want to start doing that too!
