Dreambox

Hello,

This morning we continued to explore place value and ordering numbers to the thousandths place. We worked in partners on an inquiry Math activity on Google Slides. Next, London introduced the class to the Grade 6 Math activities on the Dreambox website. Many students had used Dreambox in Grade 2 or 3 and they were interested to see the Grade 6 activities. The students will be receiving their passwords in the morning, so they can start working on the site tomorrow. It is a very fun way to get some extra practice.

In Language, we continued to work on making connections. We looked at the different connections we made on the Padlet walls yesterday and discussed how we could improve them, by providing more detail and explanations about our connections. While I continued to read from "The Fourteenth Goldfish," the students wrote improved versions of their connections on post-its and placed them on chart paper to display our text to self, text to text, and text to world connections in the class.

Finally, if you were unable to book an interview online, but you would like to meet tomorrow after school, or have a phone interview, please call the school and leave a message for me. I will get back to you tomorrow afternoon and we can have a phone interview or set up a meeting time.

Have a great evening.

Mr. Skinner
