Ms. Feinman's Class at Dora Moore

Becoming Familiar with Chrome Books

Today in Technology, Mr. K taught the students how to use the Chrome books for the first time. The students were so excited!! They practiced location of letters and numbers on the keyboard at www.abcya.com. The end goal will be for each student to type without looking at their fingers!!! Thank you Mr. K for a great lesson!

Bike MS: Colorado 2015: Miss Xenia S Matteson - National MS Society

Let's Move Forward Together

Currently there is no cure for MS. The money that is raised at this event and others like it will be used to find the cause, treatment, and ultimately the cure of multiple sclerosis. The money is also used to provide education, information, direct financial aid, and scholarships to individuals and families living with MS. By sponsoring me you too will MAKE YOUR MARK in this pursuit.

An Extraordinary Egg

To trust…. Or not to trust?

After reading An Extraordinary Egg by Leo Lionni, the students had discussions about why the author wrote the book, or what the moral of the story was. Many students came to the conclusion that it was something about trust. Look inside their eggs (posted outside room 116)! Did you “trust” that was what was going to be inside?

Then, ask yourself these questions: Often we believe we have knowledge because of testimony from other people - can such information be knowledge? Do the words of other people give us a basis for believing something? How do we determine which testimony to trust? Does it depend on how the people speaking to us know what they think they know? How often do we hold onto our beliefs even in the face of evidence that they are not true?

Student Poem Inspires Teacher

Sometimes teachers get caught up in the day to day business of "school". And sometimes it takes a very bright and thoughtful student to wake that teacher up. After reading this poem, I was reminded of why I do what I do everyday.

I thought I would share it on the blog.

So, students, keep writing those poems and bringing them into school to share!!!
