Cause and Effect and QR Codes!

Hello and happy Jan. 7th.

Today we watched two videos on EdPuzzle to help us understand and practice Cause/Effect Text Structures!  They are videos with questions through out the videos for comprehension and strategy practice.

I also showed Nelson House how to make QR Codes.  This will give them an opportunity for more "CHOICES" to show understanding and application of skills and strategies.

Balloon-Cause and Effect and more

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today in Ms. Wenzel's TEAM we played balloon volleyball!

Also, in Language Arts we started to learn about Cause/Effect text structures!  We looked at Cause/Effect Graphic Organizers and also use balloons to talk about different causes leading to different effects.  Of course, we had to pop the balloons-effect.  But, what was the cause?
