Science and Social Studies iPad MIXED REVIEW

Above is a snapshot of a much longer iPad review. The students had an awesome time with this simple assignment because they were allowed to choose ANY iPad app, use their notes, the internet, and the textbook to answer the questions, and be as creative as they wanted! It was a very successful idea! I am proud!



Back to the ol' drawing board....

That's it...state testing has commenced for our 5th graders. They worked very hard and I am proud of their efforts. But, there is no time to waste. Tomorrow we review and dig deeper into Westward Expansion.
