MAD HOT BALLROOM

What does the word "Teamwork" mean to you?
-The word Teamwork means to me when a group or a team works together on something to get done faster.

-This documentary is true
-1994 ballroom was introduced to 5th graders
-New York City, Manhattan, Brooklyn,
-Don't have school names they are only numbers
-Its hard to choose the finalist because they are all good at dancing

How do you see these students trying to work together?
- They work together by dancing together and getting a long with each other


How important was teamwork for these students?
- They had to work together throught practice and in the final competition and they never gave up and helped each other out with the dance if they dont know how to do them.

What do you think is the main message that these students should take away from this experience?
-Proving to yourself that you can do anything and try hard that you got that far

How will you work together with your teammates in this class?
-By helping them with problems in school and help each other with the stuff that we are struggling on and get it done together

JonathanR 6, 2011 Jets Ski Addition

I had played a game on mathplayground.com and its called Jets Ski Addition, the game teaches addition. The game is that you create your own jet ski and name it and control it into levels answering the adittion questions that are giving. I like this game because you can join with other people and play against them to see who is better, when you win you get a trophy and move on to harder levels. The addition is very easy, i think they should change it where you can do multiplication and division since those are a little bit more harder. This game is really cool also because you can play online with others, that you dont know and have fun winning and answering questions.

The game "J. Lo Fur Bully On The Block" is a cool and fun game to play and how to play the game is that you create your own person and have to run towards the animals and hit space to free them before J. Lo gets you. This is a strtegy game because you have to run away and use your head to know where to go. The game was a little hard at first but then it started getting easy because the levels were getting bigger and you have more space to run.
The game " Super Chicks Sisters" is a cool game to play because its kind of like Super Mario but its a little different. The game is that you have to go to obsticle to another before time runs out and you have certain amount of lives. The game is a adventure game because you go to another level and have to jump every where, where you dont fall down. The game was kind of hard because the blocks are small to jump on and you can slip easily so have to keep your balance so you wont fall and if you do then you die and lose a life.
