Every Day Math Online

  On the second week of school Mrs. Sims class learned how to get on our Everyday Math logins to play games and learn how to play with a deck of cards, roll dice,flip a coin,play with geoboards anything (that has to do with math) all on the laptops!

  When we were learning how to use the website  Mrs. Sims told us that we could get our homework off of there if we were sick or out of town. Mrs. Sims also showed us that we can play math game with a partner or by yourself.

The website is http://connected.mcgraw-hill.com/

We have our username and password in our student planners!

Celebrate good times- COME ON!

 Today we all brought our electronics so we could scan a code on our memoirs so we could watch other people read there memoirs. It was a lot better to hear someone else read there memoir with expression than us just reading it in our head. We could also write comments on others memoirs.

Simple Machines

                  The Wonders Of Simple Machines!
 So we had fun doing these stations to see what simple machines can realy do. As you can see we had these simple machines lever,screw,gears,pully,wedge,wheel and axle,incline plane.
We spent two days working in these stations. Personlly my favorite was the screw because we had screws and little screw drivers. Any way it was alot of fun!

Food Chains and Webs

Jonah is making a food chain.

I'm writing this today because I wanted to tell you about science.You should read the because it was fun and you can get them to play it on the computer.Today at science we went to the computer lab and played some games about food chains and food webs.There was like 2 games where you put animals in a food chain.there was like 5 games of the food chains and food webs.The food web games was like the food chain games.The lesson was to learn more about food chains and food webs.The link was http://tinyurl.com/sniabar . 

Here are some girls in the lab.

What we learned from doing this is about the food chains and webs.What it was when we made food chains and we made some food webs on the computer.I think we all learned maybe a little about them today.

The boys here are making food webs and chains

Food Chains are:Always starts with a producer 

Food Webs are:A collection of food chains

Our fun APP!

In math we used a Virtual Reality App called Aurasma. It lets you hide objects in our "virtual world". So with our normal eyes we only see a computer, with Aurasma, we see a math problem.

In real life there is not a flying car, but in the virtual world of Aurasma there is.

In the app we did a scavenger hunt where every time we found a clue like the picture above, it would show a math equation or a funny video. We used it to go over our study guide for division.

In this activity we would go into groups of three carrying  the iPad for one group, the teacher's phone, and my phone since I had the app. 

What the app does is you can make you own a aura. All you have to do is pick a design to go inside your aura. Then, you find a place around the room you want to put it in and post! 

Our class agreed to do it again because we had so much fun the first time. It taught us a lot about how to work together. The funny thing is that we all couldn't find one of them which was the teacher! In conclusion, we had a learning experience while still getting to have some fun.

Vertabrate prezi projects

In science we were learning about the five vertebrates. The teacher thought instead of doing a boring presentation on paper, we would make a technical presentation with www.Prezi.com. In these projects we were split into five groups. Each group was chosen a vertebrate to present with their prezi.The five vertebrates we studied were amphibians,reptiles,birds,fish, and mammals.The requirments were to have where is there habitat,are they born alive or hatched.life cycle,if they breath in their lungs or gills,and the body covering.

In this projects we learned about vertebrates in a very fun way.In this project we learned to use habit six:synergize. The teacher thought that it would be best if we would do a fun project while using the 7 habits with others. So basically we got schooled by our 5th grade teacher Mrs.Sims.So we got schooled by our teacher, IN SCHOOL!!!

In conclusion, all of us learned about how to work together and still have a learning expirence. This shows to every student that thinks school stinks is wrong. Ask Mrs.Sims class if school is fun. They will all say it is with Mrs.sims.
