Flying Solo
Flying Solo is a really good book. What boring book would have a teacher out sick and a sub missing? This sixith grade class will take the pilot seat. But will this stunt plane crash?
Watch Out! This book is wonderful and heart warming yes, but this plane crew has soaring problems!

Book Talk BFG
Here is our first Book Talk for your listening enjoyment. We are still working out the sound engineering, so I apologize for microphone noise. Students had about three weeks to read their book (both out loud, together, and silently on their own) and take careful notes. This Book Talk is their first opportunity to get together (with the whole class watching) and discuss the book.
BFG Oct09 Book Talk!

Comments Comments Comments!
Room 15 Rocks is officially going crazy with comments right now! The Room 15 community is awesome! I have never seen so many different people writing so many wonderful, positive comments. If you haven’t written one yet, all you have to do is find something of interest on the web site and then click where it says “Leave a comment” or maybe “2 comments,” or it might just have a “Leave a reply” box at the bottom of a student’s page.
All I ask is that you use your real first name and that you keep it positive. Thank you so much to everyone who has gone on and already supported a member of our class by giving them positive feedback!
Now, just wait ’til we really start to put up work in our digital portfolios: writing, photography, art and spoken word!

Today Ms. Chagolla led the first lesson on energy. Students got their hands on batteries, fans, wires, and lightbulbs and tried to figure out how things work. We are focusing our discussions right now on two things: an energy source and an action. Students are learning to observe an action and then figure out what made it happen, what was the energy source?
