4th Week in Parrot-Dise...

We have had a busy week... We took Duval County Benchmark Tests Monday-Thursday. We also were very busy in class academically.  The best part was we figured out how to use our Interactive White Board! 

Here are some photos...

Rounding Off "Chant"...

Charley knows "Move up one time!"

Using our Interactive White Board for Science..

Adding salt to cold water and hot water.... which one can dissolve more???

We came to the conclusion it's "HOT" water...

"Short" but "Busy" Week...

Even though we only had 4 days this week, we sure were busy.  We started our week with an awesome guidance lesson by Ms. Coppedge. She read a great book and did a demonstration about the effects of "Bullying".

In Reading we are well into our novel "Because of Winn Dixie".  We now have met the characters, Opal, the Preacher, Fanny, and of course Winn Dixie! The Parrots are doing a wonderful job of reading the characters' dialogue and narrating. Wonder who we will meet next? 

In Math we are really rolling through place value, comparing and ordering numbers, and the skills we cover in Calendar Math. 

We are developing into writers with our practice of different types of engaging beginnings. The parrots love to come to the doc-u-cam and share their writing.

Thursday was "Laptop" Day. We took the STAR test in reading and spent some time on Destination Learning and Compass Odyssey practicing reading and math skills.

Enjoy the photos...

Thanks for the lesson, Ms. Coppedge...

Love our "Calendar" Math...

Working on math and reading...
