2016 Lower School Mock Election from LREI on Vimeo.
Thank you Celeste for doing the layout on the newspaper. We could not have published this first edition of the 2016/17 LREI News without her help. Next time, the students will be part of the layout process. Our fingers are crossed!

Recently, I have been working on showing my math using Show Me on my class iPad. It’s an app where you can draw and explain what you are doing and it will record your voice. The first time I did it was for a math problem 17×6. I made an array and split it up into 10 and 7. Then I did 6×7 and 10×6 and I put them together. In the end the answer was 102. You can use different colors like black, grey, red, blue, green and orange. You can also erase things and add typing and use a picker and draw on it. Show Me is really fun and I really like to use it.

Since we are studying newspaper articles, we practiced writing them. The fourth grade went to Tasha’s and Bill’s classrooms to see what they were doing. We could then write newspaper articles about what we observed.
We split into groups of four or five, and some groups went to Tasha’s and some groups went Bill’s classrooms to write. We watched the second graders in their classroom, while they were reading and doing math. Some fourth graders watched the students in Bill’s class get ready for the canned food drive.
We took notes about what the second graders were doing so we could could write about it for homework. We all wrote a news article. Some of us wrote it by hand in our writing journals, while others wrote it on the computer.
In the articles we wrote for homework, we had to include the 5 w’s and 1 h (who, what, when, where, why, and how). We also had to include quotes, and at least 3 paragraphs.
We stood at the back of the second grade classroom to watch. We were like flies on the wall. We tried to cause as little disruption as possible. A couple of fourth graders were able to ask questions to the second grade.
