#2 ELT

What is ELT? ELT is Extended Learning Time. At a certain time everyday all fifth graders stop for some extra time in reading or math. Fortunately I have the privilege of teaching math during this time. Sometimes learning voacabulary can be boring but it is so important. So no more looking up words in the dictionary and writing mountains of definitions (As parents don't you remember doing that?  I certainly do!). As you can see in these pictures we are trying to match definitions with words and examples of those words. It is alot more fun to learn vocabulary this way and students learn more than just the definitions, but what the words also look like in examples. So on this day we cut and matched vocabulary. The good news is we are getting better!

 We don't have to be in a desk in straight rows anymore to learn!  The carpet will do just fine!

 But a desk will be okay, but so will the floor!
