Room 31's Homepage

December 2, 2011

     I am very excited and pleased by the level of interest students showed in writing and learning about cowboys this week.  I am hoping that student writing is on the wall outside of the classroom pertaining to the cowboy display before conferences begin on Wednesday.  Most of the student writing has been completed.  However, I am trying to install a western font so we can print our work in the most authentic manner.

     I have included three new links that the students appear to be quite interested in.  One is for a website that gives free worksheets about pre algebra.  We will introduce topics from this from time to time, particularly for students who are mastering the concept at hand and are looking for an additional challenge.  I have also included a site, Mathfactcafe.com, which provides flashcards and practice in multiplication and division among other topics.  Last, I am going to try and follow the directions to create a pin hole camera out of a Pringles Can as directed by the last link I added.  Students are more than welcome to try and create one to (with an adult's help) and bring it to school.

     I am looking forward to meeting with everyone next week.
