Digital Portfolios
Earlier this week we started our "Digital Portfolio" Keynote Presentation that can house our work from the year. We used our iPad to take a picture of our watercolor art, cropped and enhanced it in the Photos app, then imported it into a new Keynote Presentation that we titled, "My Digital Portfolio." Within this portfolio we will be able to store pictures of our work, poems, short written work, art, movies, and more!
Class Meetings
Being new to 3rd grade, I am really seeing the value and importance of class meetings where we can review rules and procedures, preview important dates and information, problem solve, and get to know each other better. I have started to implement them as a daily routine immediately following quiet morning work.
Design Thinking with Mr. Remmer's Buddy Class Has Begun!
In order to help our students become young makers, Mr. Remmers and I have crafted an ongoing curriculum for making and prototyping titled simply "Design Thinking."
Today we had our first meeting with our 5th-grade buddies and first team challenge: "Make a toy or something entertaining" with cardboard, tape, and scissors. Check out the slideshow below for some glimpses into our "making!"

Compliment from Mr. Gist - our Music Teacher
Our class had Mr. Gist for the first time yesterday, and he wrote me an email afterward with the following message:
"Your class was great in music today. They came in quietly, followed directions, and lined up appropriately at the end. Keep it up!
Thanks,
Mr. Gist"
I was proud to receive such a kind note from a fellow teacher!

Tennis Shoes for PE
A friendly reminder from our PE teachers Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Rossi to wear exercise/running shoes on Wednesdays and Fridays (our PE days).
