The fifth graders used a great deal of math logic, actually figuring out that Mr. Ashley made a type-o in the math riddle, because it was unsolvable, then they figured out what my mistake was, and what the correction should have been in order to get the only possible correct answer. We had a packed day this week as many students worked to get their digital blueprints finished and their interior structure attached to their walls. We now have almost the whole class getting ready to put their walls together and/or start on their roof. We also did some Minecraft coding at the end of the day, they learned/practiced how to set up and run the programs block chain coding system. Hopefully later this year we will have time for either Java or Python, which are two other coding options they can learn in Minecraft.

There were no Leprechaun sightings this St. Patrick's Day ALERT day, but we did have house sightings! Several students finished their digital blueprints last week and received their cut house pieces this week, they started adding the internal support structures, hopefully by next week all the walls will be up and they can work on their rooves. Three additional students finished their digital blueprints this week, so they will receive house pieces next week. Two others are very close, they have a few tweeks to make before I can cut their houses. Hopefully they are checking their Google classroom messages (hint hint)! The last two weeks have been very short classes due to state testing for future Gifted and Talented students. When they came to me after lunch and recess they got into their architecture project work and some math. (a few are still trying to figure out the Master Level problem from a few weeks ago) |
