This morning was a little less chaotic, however, for some reason, when judging, google forms only allowed 99 forms soooooo, we tried to get those that needed a second score judged. We also wanted everyone to see each other's projects so we took some time to visit all the inventions. While we were waiting, we had a little extra time so we played word games--Boggle, Scrabble, Scrabble Jr., etc. They really enjoyed but they made up their own rules allowing names and "video game" words.
Once we got switched and into our content classes, 4th graders got caught up with Toothpaste Millionaire and then practiced parts of speech using economic terms in a mad lib. Ask your 5th grader what they did with Mrs. Tanner. In math, 4th grade students reviewed addition/subtraction of whole numbers and decimals, multi-digit multiplication and long division with remainders. Boy did we need review/practice! We also met with our book groups to determine where to read to by next Tuesday since we have a 4-day week. 5th grade kiddos worked on volume.
We ended our day Skyping with inventors from Curio Interactive in Seattle, Washington. This was very cool!
