Students have learned how to share a google document with the proper permissions to their teachers! They also have learned how to copy and paste the url for their google docs to the dropboxes in Blackboard Learn! Some students even went so far as to usebitly.com to shorten their links. We have worked with character traits this week as well as answering comprehension questions. We are working diligently on our North Carolina Symbols, learning how to use an outline to take notes on each symbol. We are collecting 5 facts about 5 symbols of our state. We are also using North Carolina Trivia , each day a new trivia fact about our state will be introduced and there will be a quiz on Friday which will not go in the gradebook yet.
Our first Wordly Wise test in on Friday, September 16th
