Watch the following video:
This dinosaur visit is a great way to get kids excited to learn about dinosaurs!
Now answer the following questions (be creative, but keep it realistic please)
1. What would make learning fun for you?
2. Think about one of the subjects you are currently studying (Interactions within Ecosystems, New France, Math, and Language: Mystery/Suspense). Brainstorm 3 different projects, classroom activities or special guests that would make school come alive for you.

ReplyDelete1.What would make learning fun for me would be to have lots of group work and, not a lot of presentations.
2.For New France we could do a play in groups of three of four, or we could do a play as a class for the grade sixes so they have an idea for next year.

ReplyDelete1. The thing that would make learning fun for me is to do somthing game related to the subject that we would had just descust.
2. new france
activities: to act out bieng one of the five group coming to New France( so like pretend that we are the explorers, one of the prodjects could be to write a story about your traville to New France, the last activity is to ahve a real history person (the person that suddies history) and tell us all about their traville

ReplyDelete1. What would make learning fun for me is going on class trips and also doing lots of projects.
2. The Ecosystem one thing that would make that subject come alive is finding many different things everywhere you go for one week that involves the Ecosystem another thing that would make the subject come alive is if we could on a trip and its one big room with things for the ecosystem
Sarah L:
ReplyDeleteQuestion One:
Learning would be fun if there was more interaction and hands on learning. Hands on gets students participating and students tend to learn more. This is why I think hands on learning would make learning more fun.
Question Two:
Science:
One thing that would make science come alive is going out to the outdoor classroom and actually seeing ecosystems interact.
Another thing that would make science come alive would be playing little games that show us how the animals and plants interact with each other. The last thing that would make science come alive is creating our own ecosystems and telling the class how our own ecosystems interact.

ReplyDelete1.Learniing would be fun if we were to accually use hands on and do all of the experaments and go to al of the places that are talked about, such as New France. Also learning would be a lot more fun is if it were humorous.
2.We are studying ecosystems and it would be more fun and interesting if we could meke an ecosytem or go to a random stop like a forest or a lake and see what ecostems are in there and what we could do to keep it the way it is. We could also do a project on an animal thats going extinct and research the animals importance and what's going to happen to the ecosystem if the animal does go extinct.

ReplyDeletequestion 1.
What would make learning fun for you?
a few ways it would fun for me to learn is going on field trips, having someone come to our school or we dress up and have it like a play.the reason why is because i would remember it and its fun. if we had it like a play everyone is involved so it makes it so fun.
question 2.
Think about one of the subjects you are currently studying (Interactions within Ecosystems, New France, Math, and Language: Mystery/Suspense). Brainstorm 3 different projects, classroom activities or special guests that would make school come alive for you.
i think that if we had someone come from fort willow to teach us about what its like to back in the day it would be fun because we can do activate and fun games.
Emily:
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1:
If learning where fun it would have to be something fun and exciting like we do it as a class group because like when we do around the world i find that a lot of fun and we learn while playing it because its doing time table and subtraction and division.
Question 2:
Like i said in question 1 i like it when we play mad minute as a class because it just makes things more exciting for me and we are learning while also having fun because its math what would make that fun would be if maybe someone that is a genius in e to try and beat her or him and if you did you wouid win a prize. Math would come in and all of us would hav . Another activity we do in class that i think brings things alive in our classroom is when we do fun activities on the smart board when you get to go up and move the things to answer the question what would make that fun would be if we had a special guest make the questions about him or her and that's how we could learn about him or her..The last thing we do in our class that i find exciting is when Mr.Boettger reads the books and we get to listen and jot down notes about whats happening in the book and then the next day he asks us what happens and if you forget he puts you on his pick on list and he asks you what happens in the book for the next three days what would make that more fun would be if the author of the book him self would read us the book in this case that's Eric Walters.
1 field trips
ReplyDelete2 rawer point , visitors and posters =)
christian
Isaac <;-):0 :P :) -_-
ReplyDeletefield trips are always fun way to learn but that is a pretty crazy 2 learn
2.i think for math if we had some sort of game thing happen with r class for a day that would be pretty kool,a project on biast and stuff would be kool also and finally if a math teacher from a collage or high school and taught us some math from a way higher level
1.Learning would be fun if we watched a lot of videos and all of our work was hands on.
ReplyDelete2.for history it would be fun to make a diagram about the person we chose.For the story it would be good if we an author that wrote mystery books to come in. it would be cool to go to a pond and see how different things interact with one another

Gage:
ReplyDelete1. Learning would be a lot more fun if we got to use the things we learn in real if life situation games.
2.If for math we could use the real life situations like be a lawyer or something and figure out how these learning skills help us in the real world.
Another cool project for writing is to have
different authors come in and tell us how they come up with there ideas.
One last cool project would be for new France would be to have to dress like the different groups and pretend to do what they do to live.
1.I think going on more school trips would make learning fun.
ReplyDelete2.For math i think we should go to a place that deals with real life things like with a lot of math so we mint learn some thing new.Also for science it would be cool to go and see all different ecosystems and see real life things
Robert: 1. What would make learning fun for me would be to have more hands-on work with every subject.
ReplyDelete2. In our history unit about New France, I would like to go to Ste. Marie among the Hurons and act out some part of the daily life that the habitants experienced. A movie about life then would also be good to watch.
Lynsay
ReplyDelete1.Learning would be fun for me if we could interact more with things so, instead of sitting down and writing somthing we could maybe do an activity that is educational be still very fun.
2.Somthing we could do for language is we could actually get up and presintate somthing and because we are doing mystery and suspense we coud all come up with a partener and present what it could be then we could present what it could be with adding some mystery or suspence.
Yasmeen :)
ReplyDelete1. well the way we learn today is fine but i would personally like it better if we got to do more things like around the world for each subject but including the stuff we are learning in that subject for example: you ask us what is the habitant's job and we would have to answer that correctly to move on :).
2. Well if we had more authors come and tell us about there journey as becoming an author that
would be nice :).
I would like to do a endangered animal project because another class did last year and it looked fun :).
Logan:
ReplyDelete1.Play games and do activities that involve what we are learning.
2.In history we could recreate a habitant farm using plasticene and popsicle sticks. I like using art to show what I have learned. Acting things out instead of just talking about history is more fun. A class trip to somewhere that we learn about history would be good.
Kala
ReplyDelete1.Something that would make learning fun for me would be a hands on experience like in mystery. It would be cool if I was the detective and I was the person trying to solve the crime, I would learn a lot.
2. In language I think it would be cool if a real author came to our class and did a presentation about how he/she writes a book. We could do a project on how long it takes to write a book. Lastly, we could think up some ideas and during the year we could write a short novel.
Kristin:
ReplyDelete1. Stuff that would make school fun is candy for ever answer we tried hard on we get a small candy or ever time we put our hand up.
We could also have one free period after ever test. but the whole class has to get over 65% or the people who don't get over 65% has to do extra work for that subject during the free period.
2. New France "Name a dead guy" you name a famous and you have 30s to explain what he did.
We could get candy for the correct answer.
We could also get cards and ones you get 5 cards you get a prize.

ReplyDelete1 Learning would be fun for me if we would find real life situations and figure out different approaches to solving them. This will also help kids with applying these solutions to real life situation.
2 Three ideas that I think may help the class come alive in math are, relate the math to a situation that they might have in real life today. For example, the guys like to have dirt bikes. So relate median to who wins a dirt bike race. Who placed in the middle of the race.Also for history you can say what if you had to work all day? What would that be like. Do you think you would do that so you can have half your crops. This is the life of the habitant. Finally you could math more interesting by having more group projects. This will also teach us to work with others.
Dustin It would make learning fun if you made some of it into little games or something. 2 It would be fun if you had a person come in and tell us about the habitants and all the others. Another one would be if someone brought in tools the habitat used. The last one is that if we made a game out of it like a quiz like what we did.
ReplyDeleteSpencer
ReplyDeletelearning would be fun for me if there were some games to help us.2.It would be cool if some one came in to talk about the couriers de bois. it would be cool if they brought things that the couriers de bois would use.
Jake.
ReplyDeleteschool would be more fun if there was more activity time
1:in math there should be more adding subtraction or multiplication games
2: for history we should visit more places for a better learning.
3: for language we should do more novel studies with longer questions like C.A.S.I
Jaelen:
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1:
To make learning fun, I would would I like to play games and make us act out what is going to happen like we do in Math, with the flash cards to help us get better with math.
Question 2:
I would like it if you made up little scrips and we could act them out for mysteries.
