4th/5th Gifted

It's been 2 weeks since I saw the students. Our morning meeting was spent sharing about our hurricane adventures. We are so thankful that those in our class had minimal damage to their homes and that everyone is safe and back with us.

Our Wake Up work and Logic really made some of the students think. For our Creative Juices, we had to make pictures out of random pictures. This activity really made the students look at their scribbles and use their creativity to make pictures.

I taught the students a mini lesson on finding the mean, median and mode of a set of numbers. We will review this skill the next time we meet but I think they are now confident in finding the average.

The students were so excited today...our box of Rubiks cubes (on loan to us) arrived while we were out during the hurricane. We spent a large portion of our day looking at the booklet and trying to solve the different stages of the cube. We will be working on these each week for the next several until we have to send them back.

Because we spent so much time on the Rubiks cube today we didn't get as much time to work on the loop planes. We will get those finished up in two weeks when we meet again.
