Winter Session Week 5

B1-2:

We are participating in the Tooth Tally Project with over 250 classes around the world! For the next 3 months we will be keeping track of lost and wiggly teeth as well as doing some other activities. This week we listened to the tumblebook Abra Cadabra, The Tooth Witch. We drew a picture of the tooth fairy based on a description given by the Tooth Tally Project. We will use our pictures next week in a Voicethread presentation where we discuss what the tooth fairy does with all those teeth. After our pictures were finished, we went back to our computers for some fun tooth games like Squanky the Tooth Taker, Plaque Attack, and Whack a Molar.

3-4:
This week the students began some research for a Biography project. First, we discussed some internet search techniques and watched this great youtube video from Commoncraft.
4th graders are researching a famous Tennessean and 3rd graders are researching the person they checked a book out about last week in library. Our goal this week was to get 5 facts and to save a picture of the person in our folder. We also talked about the Doodle4Google contest-I hope some of you enter!
