Well I am diving into flipping my classroom, and have designated Fridays for our flips. This weeks Flip is in the language department. My students are working on writing, so they are being introduced to two literary devices. Alliteration and Similes. Please take a look at the videos below
This week our class investigated how to clean up an oil spill and the effect it can have on an ecosystems. We researched effective methods for cleaning up oil spills and groups decided which method they planned to implement. Each group created their model ecosystem, which subsequently experienced an oil spill. What an awesome job all the groups did.
Today we are taking a look at some non-fiction texts and focusing on how to mark up a text while reading using our reading strategies. Here is a great prezi for using those strategies as we read. We have to remember that Reading is Thinking.
So I am venturing into a new way of sending reminders and important information

Well another school year has begun, and I am so excited with my new class. We have explored digital citizenship and have created our It’s #SoMe posts. Check out mine below!
Our class has begun to read Freak the Mighty – what inferences can we about the cover? What is this book about? What predictions can we make? My students have come up with Questions to Discover – will they be right?
What a great first week! My students are amazing and awesome. I can’t wait to see how our fingerprints turn out and our life boxes.
