Today’s blog post is brought to you by Aubrie. I’ve included some pictures from our online Padlet discussion about robots the day after our Witte field trip. I also included a picture of the students using “Plickers” to respond to some questions about the field trip. Remember that you can click on any picture to see a larger image.
Today in G.T. we (quite unfortunately) had no Genius Hour. Instead, we were tortured by G.T. testing. We have to take a total of 6 tests, and we have 2 left (I think). (Note from Mrs. Eichholz – They did not take 6 tests this Thursday – only one test that was 30 minutes long 😉
We finished ‘‘The Giver’’, and it left us hanging (Darn). Mrs. Eichholz saved the day by telling us that there were books in sort of a trilogy called ? Gathering Blue and The Messenger. Get it – Giver/Messenger? There’s also The Giver as a movie coming out this August that we *might* be able to see as an optional summer field-trip!!
We also discussed the field-trip we took Wednesday to the Witte Museum, and talked about robots for a while. The news crew was also at the Witte Museum when we were, and some of us got to be on the news!!
Lastly, five of us got a chance to pick a prize out of the treasure box.
See you next week!
