Using Google Drawing

During writing time today, Mr. Sosa had his third grade students access their Google Drives to brainstorm and rough draft their writing. Students used Google Drawing to make an idea web for the writing topic: "activities I like to do outside". After the web they made a Google Document to start their rough drafts. They created these documents in a shared folder so that students can edit and revise collaboratively inside and outside of school with their peers and teacher. Mr. Sosa loves that he will be able to access their writing at any time to leave comments on their writing without the hassle of lugging 20 writing journals around.

Hi Students- 

Thank you so much for participating in the online version of the weekly math 

vocabulary scavenger hunt! The winners will be announced on the K-OWL

news on Friday! Make sure to listen for your name!

This week's word is PERPENDICULAR LINES. You can find the definition 

on the Caraway website AND I found it on iXL too! I hope to hear from even 

more of you this week!

Thanks Mathematicians!

Caraway Students, 

I had such a good response from my first math question.  That gave me

 the incentive to add another question for this vocabulary word.

Just for your information, I made my drawing in Google Drive with Drawing.
