@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @BCPSMATH Someone is missing our math warm-ups a little extra. Just received my own homemade anticipatory set via @ClassDojo this morning. #DigitalLearning

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @ClassDojo You’re always touched when Ss remember your birthday but when they remember after not having seen you in three weeks, you feel especially loved.

@shamitchbreen This is so terrible! Thank you for sharing.

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

It was mine too! I’m brainstorming more whole class activities like today’s 🥰

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES Today our class had a virtual scavenger hunt! I think I may have enjoyed it more than them, I loved seeing their faces!

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES Missing these faces a little extra today. Missing my “thirds”/“fourths” dropping by in the morning to get a peek at what Brain Breakfast is, missing @ClassDojo cash-ins, lunch bunches, and missing dismissals like the last photo 😭

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @BCPS_Sup Thank you @padlet and @ClassDojo for making these days a little brighter with the ability to chat and stay connected with my Ss.

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @BCPSSci Today in science we discussed absorbency! Our groups tested 3 different materials to see which would be most absorbent 🧽. Students recorded their results and will decide which material they will use when making their brick 🧱 walls!

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @BCPSMATH We played rock, paper, scissors to create line plots in math. Students then answered questions about their wins, losses, and ties. Line plots can be so much fun to create and interpret!

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES Today during morning meeting we discussed what we want MORE and LESS of in the new year! Students also made personal 2020 goals for home and school!

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES We took a break from fables today to explore how other parts of the world celebrate holidays in December! We discussed how families in Portugal celebrate Christmas and how it compares to our family traditions!

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @BCPSMATH Check out our “tree-rific” unknown change word problems! Students were given an unknown change problem and after solving, they gave their answer in expanded form!

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @BCPSMATH Our math small groups had an opportunity to look at how someone (fictional) solved a word problem and grade their work using our grading system (CD, P, N) while explaining their reasoning.

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES we’ve added adverbs to our parts of speech Brain 🧠 Breakfast this week! Ss are also working on identifying nouns as concrete, abstract, common, or proper.

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES *Later Post!* Our class creating 3D shapes, identifying acute, right, and obtuse angles, and finding vertices and edges! @BCPSMATH

[Bethany Banks @bbanksBCPS]

@BaltCoPS @Team_MCES @BCPSMATH Arrays are more fun with stamps & stickers! Ss are working on creating and describing arrays with repeated addition equations.
