Technology Fair

Here we are amidst all of the computers and projects and smart boards and more! Ms. Lessman(that's her in the pic) and I have been working the Mathews booth for about an hour. We have talked to many people and helped some play Mrs. Green's class media project on the American Revolution. It won First Place here tonight!!! It was all very exciting. Hope you were able to come see everything and possibly win a computer or flat screen tv. Mrs. Ramsey is hoping that her daughter will win that tv though. Happy computing!

Go check out the MCSD Website to read about the Techno Expo!

Belated Earth Day Greetings

I hope everyone had a green Earth Day yesterday. I actually received an Earth Day greeting from the daughter of a friend of mine who is a 5th grader in Beckley, West Virginia (which is where I used to teach before moving to Columbus 10 years ago this June). It said...

Because your trash and

Just wanted to share this with you. It's very cool. REDUCE is also a word that we've been using in Math... I can tie math in to so many things. :-)

Just For the Fun of It - Math Puzzle 1

Can you solve the puzzle? I bet you can. Don't give up! You can do it.

In the local tennis tournament, the champion is to be determined from among 100 competitors by elimination. As soon as one of the competitors loses a match, he joins the ranks of the spectators. How many matches are needed in order to determine the winner?

Hello

Hello all you wonderful Mathews 5th graders! Good luck on the Science CRCT today. You know it's Early Release day so today shouldn't be to bad. When you get home, you can get on your computer and send me a comment. Have a great day!

Starting to Blog!

Here I go. I am finally blogging. It seems that blogging started about 11 years ago. I guess that I am a little behind the times. 11 is about how old most of my students are or will be. Better late than never? I think so. I am really looking forward to blogging and also to introducing my students to blogging although some of them may already be into it. I'm sure that they will let me know.
