Google Earth and Trucker Buddy

HELLO!!!

Today in Language Arts we found out we will be corresponding with a Trucker from NE.  It is through the Trucker Buddy program.  We used Google Earth to visit his city and state!

We are excited to write to him and learn about his profession/experiences.

Pipecleaner Sequencing Activity

Hello!!!!

On Friday, in Language Arts, Nelson House students made pipe cleaner crafts.  In addition, they needed to write step by step how they made the item.  A peer then had to read the directions and replicate the item.

Vocabulary Snowball Launch

Hello!!!

Today Nelson House played Snowball Launch-aka Clean Out Your Backyard-students used a piece of paper and needed to write a vocabulary word on their paper based on the definitions I gave them.  I then instructed them to launch their snowball across the room. The other side picked up the snowball to see if the word was corrected.  We then repeated till all the words were used.  It was a snowball blizzard time :-)

Smiles,
