This Month's Video Conferences from SOITA

January 21 - Place Value and Number Sense

Subject areas: Mathematics

Grade levels: 2, 3

Description: Join us for a fun way to learn and review place value concepts. Students will explore whole numbers, review place values up to the ten thousands, and work with base-10 blocks.

January 27 - Laugh Your Head Off with Idioms

Subject areas: English Language Arts

Grade levels: 1, 2

Description: Students will encounter idiomatic expressions sprinkled throughout both written and spoken language. Idioms can be wonderful vocabulary-enriching tools as students are made aware of both the figurative and literal meanings behind them. Students will get a chuckle as they see how the literal meaning creates a very different picture from the figurative message.

February 7 - Sound: Here, There, Everywhere!

Subject area: Science

Grade levels: 4, 5

Description: How does sound travel from the explosion of a cannon to our ears? Why is it that different strings on a guitar produce sounds higher and lower in pitch? In this session students will observe several experiments demonstrating the properties of sound and make their own observations concerning the transmission, reflection, and absorption of sound as well as how changing the rate of vibration can vary the pitch of a sound.
