Mr. Borzick's Room: December 2012

http://borzick.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 22. For the past couple of years, I have been recieving reports from my students that the world was going to end in 2012. Specifically, the end of the world was to occur December 21, 2012. Fortunately for all of us, it didn't. Here's a short video produced by NASA that explains what the Mayan calendar does, and does not, say about 12/21/12. Friday, December 21. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday break. Enjoy your time off! I will see everyone again on Wednesday, January 2nd.

Friday, November 30. Dickens of a Christmas. Two more "Math Problem Explained" videos were posted today. Some of the students brought home these pages for homework; these videos could be a great resource if they have problems. In the last science chapter we studied animals and some of their adaptations. The students took this knowledge and created their own fictional bird. Using the app VoiceThread, the students explained some of their bird's adapations.
