One of my favorite activities all year is just around the corner. World Math Day 2011 starts on Monday!! To help get motivated to beat last year’s scores, the students made their own movie with a sweet montage. If you are feeling like you just can’t do it, take a look at the video below.

Before big tests, I like to give motivational/inspirational speeches. I also like to show videos to help get the students ready. After watching a couple of videos, some students decided to make their own videos. Here are a couple of them:

The students just recently finished writing stories with other students from Kansas and Turkey. The students were partnered up with 5th graders from across the country and the world. Their objective was to write a story about being caught in a snow storm. The students had to write back and forth until the story was completed. After the story was finished, the students pasted their finished stories into a wordle. The wordle gave the students an idea of what words they were overusing. Take a look at an example below. You can see the other wordles and stories on the writing wiki or on the students’ blogs.
Take a listen to the newest episode of Tennessee Tech Kids featuring Heather on Stack the States, Marya on SAT Coach, and Wyatt on Story Bird.
This week in math we finished up biased and unbiased. Some of the students made videos for their math wikis. Take a look.
