I popped in some classes yesterday and saw students using their devices to:
help sketch their ceiling tile
complete complex math problems on Tenmark
create historical timelines coinciding with a composers life
conduct research on famous African Americans
perform earthquake simulations while changing variables
Even more impressive than the meaningful technology use was the great teaching that went with it!
Three reasons why your students should Blog.
Please remember to turn in your newsletter to Ellen today if you haven't done so already!
Thanks to everyone for scheduling the 5Eessential Survey with your students. Please remind them to take the survey seriously and please remember to take the survey yourself.
Thanks to Keriann for dealing with all of the game changes for our athletic conference due to our snow days. Here is hoping for a five day work week next week. I also want to thank her for starting an after school math tutoring club for the 8th graders. I'm sure they will benefit from the extra time and practice.

Thanks to Coleen, Alex, and all of the student council members for all of their fun ideas that make our day at Benjamin a little brighter! Even the game where 5th graders try to walk as far as they can with a scolding hot cup of hot chocolate with no lid is exciting!

The 8th grade did a great job of bringing history alive as they had their 8th grade students write and perform skits using vocabulary of the 1920's. The students were hilarious.
I will be at a conference on Monday and Tuesday of next week. I want to thank Melissa for being in charge while I am gone. I will also be checking my email, phone and tweets.
