During the week last of October Ms. Thomason’s class, Ms. Swearingen’s class, Ms. Rholes’ class and Ms. Gripp’s class participated in Video Conferences called M O N S T E R M A T C H
Last week each class create monsters using Math terms and then wrote descriptions that were posted on the Hays CISD Distance Learning Wiki. A partner class at another school did the same. Using the description of the other monster our students used those clues to create the other classes monsters.
During the video conference the students showed their original monster and the other class showed what they created from the description. Then a Venn Diagram was made to record the similarities and differences. This was done for each monster at both schools.
The students and teachers used skills in math and writing to create the monster. Then they used reading and math skills to construct the monster from a description.
