This morning during Daily 5 we took a look at a few pieces of writing that some of the children are working on for our next Mixbook. In order for us to be able to see the writing and revise/edit as a group, I took a picture of a few students' notebooks with my iPad and connected it to our projector. We opened the pictures in the Glow Colouring app (a word work favourite!) and we were able to write on top of the student writing to highlight, fix, and add. It was very interactive and the kids loved to see their writing on the big screen :) Here is a picture of one of the pieces we looked at. ------->In this piece we were able to see that the author was using language that made it sound more like a poem than a story, they were using some WOW! Words (descriptive words) and that they had asked a couple of questions. This group revision/edit was valuable to both the student who's work was on the wall, as well as to other students who were working on similar pieces.
The second thing the kids wanted me to share with you is about an art project that we've started during our inquiry time. We are learning about different states of matter and we have had many discussions about changing from one state to another (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, etc). One of the student in our class talked about a crayon maker that she got for Christmas. She explained that you can melt crayons (solid to liquid) and make new ones. This reminded me of an art project I saw on Pinterest where crayons were attached to a piece of foam core and heated to melting with a blow dryer. Of course, the kids had to try it. They busily peeled broken crayons during indoor recesses last week, and today we did step one of the project... choosing our crayons. Here's a picture: ----->Tomorrow we'll attach them to our board and blow dry. I have a feeling it's going to get warm in here!
Just one more note... This post is our 99th blog post of the school year! Be sure to check out our special edition 100th post tomorrow :)

Hi Room 9,
We have been talking about your 100th blog post this morning and we all wanted to comment on your 100th post. But...we have the netbooks right now and your post isn't ready yet (I am sure you have a lot to write about!). So, we are all commenting on your 99th post, we hope you understand.
I showed my class your amazing cake, they are quite jealous and wondering when they can get a cake like this from me! I think I would need to take lessons or something to make a cake like Mrs. Malkoske. I have had her cakes before, I know you are in for a yummy treat!
Have a great day celebrating! I also can't wait to see your crayon art, I am hoping to make something like this for my niece's bedroom!
