Friendly Faces

Just a few friendly faces saying 

🌝 HELLO!🌝

Word Problem Game with LMM Grade 3

Third Graders are practicing word problems playing a game.  Students rolled a dice and read a word problem, the students then had to find a multiplication or division sentence that matched their word problem.  First student to 4 in a row was the winner!

Enjoying the Beautiful Weather at WAL Grade 6

We are so lucky at Walton to have a beautiful courtyard. The weather has been PERFECT lately for working outside.  Students are even able to take computers outside!  These 6th graders are busy writing Math problems using integers (positive and negative whole numbers).  Check out some of their work:

   A hot helicopter was flying. It went  25 feet into the canyon. Then it went up 15 feet. Then it went up another 15 feet. How high was the helicopter above the canyon?      -25+15+15= 5

George and Harold were playing video games and sharing points.

George scored -10 points and Harold scored 24 and then -12. How many points do they have altogether?

-10+24+(-12)= 2

Reading Graphic Novels at WAL Grade 4/5

Our 4/5 Readers have been exploring Graphic Novels.  We are all reading the book El Deafo which is an autobiographical story from Cece Bell. Cece lost her hearing at age 4 and had to learn how to cope with friends, family, and school.  This fun story had students thinking about disabilities as super-powers!  In the story Cece takes on the role of "El Deafo" and braves the world!

Students also got to choose their own graphic novel to read and compare to El Deafo. Students read about dragons, friends, babysitters, and more!
