Student Led Conferences

Early last week we met as a class to discuss what we wanted to share with our families later that week.  Ms. L listened to our requests and took notes eventually sorting our requests into things around our classroom and things on our iPads.  We then invited our families in for Friday afternoon.

Friday before our families came we pretended to be a "parent" for a classmate to let our classmates practice the process of sharing their work.  Here are some photos of us practicing.

Finally the time came for our parents to arrive and we began showing them what we've learned.

Our parents and younger brothers and sisters were pretty proud of what we had to show them.  We surprised many of them as well with how much we have learned this year.

Have you ever held student-led conferences?

Hey Little Ant

A few weeks back Ms. L read us the story Hey Little Ant by Phillip and Hannah Hoose.  At the end of the story, we had to decide if the ant should live or if they boy should squish him.  We had to give two reasons why.  Here are some of our responses.  If you're never read the book we think you should too, then tell us what you think the boy should do.

Jobs in Our Community

Data Collection with Twitter

This past week we have been creating surveys and asking our friends to respond to them.  On Wednesday, we decided we'd ask our questions to a larger audience. We tweeted our questions to the twitter hashtag #div18data.  We made up that hashtag. We are thankful so many people took the time to read and respond to our questions. Now we need to analyse our data. Here are some photos of us looking at some of the responses.
