Blogging Eagles

Who is "Elfin'" Around?

Well I guess it is the time of year when even teachers begin to act a little silly!  I caught the third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade Eagle Club teachers dancing like elves! Go to Elf Yourself and turn you and 3 of your friends into dancing elves. 

Now, let's pretend you really were an elf for a day.  Comment back to this post and tell me all about your adventures as an elf!

Posting our Problems

Monday's 5th Graders had a lot of fun posting their word problems on their blogs!  Mr. Harris made a deal with them and if he cannot solve their problem in 2 minutes, he will buy them an ice cream!  Go to either Terion, Josh, Laura, or my post and try to solve our problems.  Use scratch paper to work out the problems and comment back your answers.  Once you are finished solving a problem, go to typepad and post your own word problem.  Remember you must be able to solve your own problem! 

Can You Stump Me?

Have you ever written your own math word problem?  Well, today you will write one as your post.  Before you begin your own problem, read my example below. 

Mrs. Meeler went to Papa John's and bought 4 large one topping pizza's for $7.50 each, 2 3-liter cokes for $2.50 each, and 2 orders of breadsticks for $3.25 each.  How much money did Mrs. Meeler spend at Papa John's?

Work the problem out on scratch paper and comment back to this post with your answer!  After you answer my word problem, type your own problem in typepad.  We will have fun commenting our answers to each other!
