Third Grade Friends

This week, Mrs. Evon's third grade class joined us for some Math review.  They brought their iPads to our classroom and reviewed two-digit subtraction and telling time.  They introduced our class to the app Explain Everything.  Students demonstrated their math problem and then recorded themselves explaining how to solve it.  Then, using Notability our second-graders completed some telling time practice.  With a little extra time at the end they tried out the Stick Around app and made puzzles to review our States of Matter vocabulary.  As forty students were working in one classroom I was amazed at the engagement!  The voice levels were low and all heads were looking at the iPads.  Our third grade friends were gently guiding the second graders through the apps.  They were great teachers!  We are very grateful that they shared their knowledge and time with us.  Thank you Mrs. Evon and third grade friends!

  1. This is super cool! Excited to hear Mrs. Evon's 3rd graders came down to your room to share. I am so glad you are getting to see the engagement first hand! It has been so cool seeing kids take on the role of teacher with each other and in this case with their 2nd grade friends.
    Great stuff!
