PSA Videos

We are currently working on our first PSAs for our Science class.  A public service announcement makes a great assignment because students judge information based on importance, picking and choosing relevant facts for a specific audience.  You can preview some examples at www.adcouncil.org.

I am trying a few video editing apps for tablets.  I tried www.magisto.com for my example.

PSA: Anti-Waste

Oh, Snap! 5th Grade

Our students have made this saying a "thing" this year, like a meme.  So, in meme style I am using it as a reading response prompt.

Ordered Pairs 5th

Today, fifth grade used a large coordinate plane to practice finding ordered pairs, for example (3,2).  We walked the x and y axis.  We stood on the origin.  We made up a trick to remember that the origin is (0,0).  "Oh No! 0, 0."  I used cards that had various 2D shapes on them as the objects we found on the coordinate plane.  So, then we were practicing vocabulary of 2D shapes as well as hunting the coordinate plane for ordered pairs!  Super math day!  Tons of fun!  Very active and it involved everybody!

Conversions 4th and 5th
