The Week of March 31st

Seed Spitting on Opening Day!
This blog was written by the students of 1S (with very little help by Mrs. Surrette)

Red Sox Opening Day
On opening day for the Red Sox we did a lot of fun things like a math baseball game on the IWB (Interactive Whiteboard). It was fun doing the baseball games. We also did a seed spitting contest with two people on a team. You took the seed, put it in your mouth, and tried to spit it really far. You had to measure how far the seed went. Then you had to graph how far the seed went on a piece of paper. It was really fun. Did you like it when the Red Sox came back to play?






Digital Citizenship
We're going to tell you about Digital Citizens. Digital citizens don't tell anybody their password. They limit time on their devices and they are safe on the internet. We know that if something pops up on the computer and asks for your password, DON'T type it in because that is your private information. If someone emails you a mean message, go tell an adult. That is what a good digital citizen does.

Scoot
Last week our class played SCOOT! Scoot is a game where you walk around the classroom and find little task cards. Each card is numbered and has a different problem. Every student solves the problem and writes their answer in the number on their recording sheet that corresponds to the number on the task card. Click here to see an example of Contraction SCOOT
Our SCOOT game last week was about Facts vs. Opinions. Scoot is a fantastic game because you get to move around the classroom. It helps you practice reading and learn the difference between facts and opinions. We hope you get the chance to play a SCOOT game one day.
