Native American Names Activity

Hello class! Today you are going to adopt your own Native American name. This is the site on which I found my dog Takoda's name. You will choose a name which either sounds cool to you or the meaning of the name is significant to you or reflects your own characteristics. Write the name and meaning on your notecard, then post a comment about what name you chose, its meaning, and why you chose it.

Tribal Research

Thursday students researched the 6 tribes of the Haudenosaunee: Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, and Tuscarora. Students worked in groups of three and practiced good note-taking skills. Observe below!

Coffeyhouse Stories

Thank you to everyone who helped out, brought something, or made this night special with your company! The students performed so well and should be proud of themselves!

Coffeyhouse Stories

"Coffeyhouse Stories" is tonight at 6:30PM in Miss Coffey's classroom! Here is a special sneak-peak video of what you'll hear tonight!

Jeopardy!

Today we played a fun math review game of Jeopardy! The students reviewed decimals by comparing them, ordering them, adding and subtracting them, measured and drew line segments in cm and m, and converted units in the metric system. I could tell that we have a such a close and respectful class as they cheered each other on and were such great teammates! Today felt like a very special day where everyone felt good about themselves and their choices.

The Metric System

Over the last couple of days we have been studying the Metric System in math. We discussed places we see things measured using the Metric System, like buying a 2-liter bottle of soda or seeing a temperature listed in degrees Celsius. We have really been concentrating on the fact that there are 10 millimeters (mm) in a centimeter (cm), 10 centimeters (cm) in a decimeter (dc), 100 centimeters in a meter (m) and 1,000 meters (m) in a kilometer (km). Below, Xander and Jaquan find things around the room that are around one centimeter, decimeter, or meter.

Haudenosuanee Clans

Recently we have learned about the clans of the Haudenosuanee tribes. Our own class has been placed into clans: the Eel Clan, the Hawk Clan, the Beaver Clan, the Bear Clan, the Wolf Clan, and the Turtle Clan. Below, students draw and color a picture of their clan to hang on their desk.
