Wore our Bison gear today to support the herd! Love that our loyal Sioux fans are true to their team as well!!! :) This picture was also our first class Instagram post. To follow our class on Instagram, please follow the steps in the email I sent today.
After a long winter break we spent some time revisiting our classroom rule (Our class CARES about our learning, each other, and ourselves.) We brainstormed tons of character words for each letter in CARES and charted them (left side in the picture above). Now begins the phase of the year when Mrs. Clarey graffitis these words on kids desks (with Sharpie paint pens...don't worry, it'll come off in the spring...) as she sees these qualities in students. Today we also had a lengthy discussion about what it means to be a digital citizen (be part of an online community) and what our digital footprint is (anything we post online stays linked to us). We also talked about how to be safe and how to use technology in the classroom appropriately. Our iPads are here, but the screen protectors and cases haven't arrived yet. We can't wait for everything to be set up and ready to go!!!
Dinomummy is the story of a mummified dinosaur discovered in Hell Creek, North Dakota. When we read about Mary Anning last fall (a researcher from England) I wanted to share this, but I couldn't find it. Frustrating!!! As I was cleaning out our basement over winter break I discovered it in a box. YES! It was so interesting to read about not only Dakota, but also about the process the scientists went through to uncover and excavate his body. Great read!!!
