C4K Summary for Febuary

Lauren in Mr. Amidan's class
This was a video about the customary system. It was very creative and i had fun watching it. I liked how they went out to different sites and showed you how everything was made up. Like how a mile is 5,280 feet. That is a cool way to make learning fun.


Pryianka in Mrs. Ripps class
In this blog Pryianka talks about her dream vacation. Her dream vacation would be Hawaii. Being from Wisconsin she rarely gets to see a beach or anything in tropical weather. She also talks about how she has never been to an island and how she would go on a cruise while in Hawaii. It was a great blog.

Madison in Mrs Hubener Class
Madison wrote about a site called, Sum Dog. It is a website that has several games that helps you with Math. I found that the site was a great way to get kids excited about school. You can play the games and challenge your friends. This is so cool because it not only gets you excited but also your classmates, and you know how kids talk about how to beat games to one another so its also another way to get kids to help each other in math. I found her post very informative.

Pipi Ako
The class from New Zealand was covering sunflowers and showed a few of the drawings.

Mr. Salsich's Class
Mr Salsich's Class was discussing mass proprieties which involves density and buoyancy. They had some fun experiments which included a boat build and an egg experiment. These are some great ways to learn about why things float and sink. I wrote in my comment that I would have loved experiments like this because I was never truly thought what makes things float or sink because I never could clearly understand density and buoyancy. A class like this would have help me understand it a lot better
