Visual Learning Journal

Visual Learning Journal

• A record of our learning experience by Mrs.
  Williams' Fifth Grade Class

2
Mrs. Williams' Notes

• The purpose of this journal is two-fold. First,
  learning need to be reflected upon. The more we
  can encourage students to reflect on what they
  have learned the more likely they are to remember
  it and connect it to new concepts later.
  Reflecting in different modes, like visual and
  writing, reaches more types of learners.
• This journal is also to make the technology a
  part of our everyday vocabulary in the classroom.
  One of the class jobs is historian. That person
  is to take pictures of learning experiences,
  download the pictures, and create captioned
  slides to document our year.

  comes to math! In this picture we are working on
  graphs and decimals.

Casa Jar

• The casa jar is for children that are invovled in
  court system and there family is having probloms.
  So we put dollars and cents in the jar to help
  raise money for them.

Algebra and Variables

• In math we are learning about variables. A
  variable is a letter that stands for a number
  value. You would solve this equation by putting
  the number 4.4 in the place of a. Then the
  equation would read 6(4.4 1) ___ The
  solution would be 32.4.

CHANCES JAR

• This picture is of chances. Chances are when you
  get caught doing something good with out the
  teacher telling you to.

Colored Celery!!!

• For Science class we put celery into colored
  water. We found out that vascular plants carry
  water through tubes in their stems to their
  leaves.

Dinosaur bones on the smartboard

• The science project on the smartboard was where
  we dragged virtual dinosaur bones to their places
  on a skeleton stand. It was really fun.

• This is a picture of the empty spot where our
  beautiful peach yeast experiment WAS. Until the
  janitor swiped it away, we were a happy family.
  We also learned to never leave experiments on
  the desks without a note.

11
Hatchet

• Our first read aloud book this year was Hatchet.
  Gary Paulsen wrote this book. For the weeks we
  read it, all of us felt like we were in the story
  with Brian, from the time his plane crashed and
  through the struggle. All of us loved this book.
