Today students did something different. They recorded their vocabulary words using the IPads. They had to make up a story board showing the requirements and then come up with a way to film the vocabulary word. They are learning the words as well as how to edit on the IPad. In math the students are now using partial products to multiply two digit numbers. It was a bit tricky, but they are getting it. The tests from last week should have come home today.
