Civil War: Slavery Debates, 110'ers

The 110'ers took on the difficult subject of slavery. It was their job to pretend they were a person of the Civil War times and present their opinion and reasons as to why the Confederacy supported slavery. Here is a sampling of our hard work. Upon finishing each presentation, we practiced our complimenting. Everyone did a great job and we clear on the reasons the Confederacy wanted to go to Civil War against the Union.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

We are about to enter the world of PEMDAS. This is our nemonic to remember how to solve an equation that has many, many operations (+,-, *, and /) in it. How do we solve it? Which operation do we do first?
Follow these simple steps to know how... remember this simple phrase:
"Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally"
In other words, do the operations in this order:
P: Parentheses
E; Exponents next
M and D: Multiply or Divide, whichever one comes first when you read the problem L to R
A and S: Add or Subtract, whichever one comes first when you read the problem L to R

Starved Rock 2010

Hi everyone and welcome to the first post of this school year. We invite you to look into our classroom as we learn new things and engage in exciting activites. For this post, a random sample of photos from our recent trip to Starved Rock are uploaded.
At Starved Rock, we took our understanding of rocks and minerals on the road. We searched the park for evidence of what we knew and photographed our key vocabulary concepts along the trails. The weather was great and our fitness was even better. Our chaperones were the best! It was a great day!
Enjoy!

Tomatoes Do Grow at Night

It is summertime, but the Learning It Bloggin It, Showin It site needs a blog entry. Kids, it appears that this evening, Mr Phipps and I were able to check on the garden for my first time this growing season. We were the town over for a wedding, thus the fancy clothes, and we stopped by to look on our way home. The plants have grown and bear delicious fruits we can eat. I am inspired by your hard work and remind you that if you stop on by school, do some weeding, you can take home some really delicious, nutrient rich treats. I think we should make cabbage and tomato recipes so that we can enojy these treats when school begins again. Let's talk to Linda ASAP.

What Type of Animal is This?

Today we celebrated Earth Day. We saw the movie, Oceans, and we then cleaned the park and enjoyed a glorious day outside in the fresh air. The bunnies were at the park, too. When we returned to school, we decided to take the animals we learned about and create a inferring game for our sister class in Chicago, where Mr. Phipps' third graders will use our movies. They will practice inferring and taking what they have been studying about animals to get their answers. We can't wait to share and hear what they have to say.
