Working Together

October28

We have been working in cooperative groups this week in math class.  Students have been working together to solve problems and explaining problems to each other.  This has been helpful since we have been working on converting units of measurement within  the customary system.  This can be a daunting task considering all of the different conversions that we have in our system (12 in.  makes a foot, but 3 feet makes  a yard, but we have 16 oz. in a  pound?! –to name a few)  I am beginning to see why most use the metric system!

What do you think of working in groups?  Are there advantages?  Disadvantages?

    I think you putting us in groups was a great idea. If you made us do this all by our self then our lowest grade would be at least a 75 %. So thank you a lot Mrs. Caudill.

Student Blogging Challenge

Welcome to my blog!  I teach 7th grade Language Arts at McDowell Exchange School in the Logan Elm School district. I previously taught 5th grade at Laurelville Elementary (in the same district)-math for the last three years and language arts prior to that.

My hope is that this blog serves as a sort of newsletter for our class, keeping parents and students informed of class news and assignments for our Language Arts Class.  I also intend for it to be a place where students can share their writing and their thoughts on books that they are reading.

In March 2009, my blog was showcased by Sue Walters on The Edublogger site.  As a result, this blog has had visitors from all around the world.  It has been so exciting to see new dots appear on my clustr map! (see the clustr map below as of 9/24/09)  Thanks again, Sue!

Thanks for checking in. I would love to hear from you, so feel free to leave a comment and please visit again!
