G'day Big Woods!
It was great to be back with you today to talk about the word INFER! Usually when we use the word INFER in the classroom, it means to guess or predict from a limited amount of information.
Today we were able to INFER the answers to our first Croc Quiz. It was really fun to learn more about Hanz and frans as well as Ms. Brown by using the word INFER. I hope you enjoyed our time together as much as I did. Until next time, watch out for Crocs, use INFER in your classrooms, and have a great day.

Legend
Legend was the word today and Hanz and Franz told you all about how legend works. Legend is the key of a map and points out the different symbols on the map. Hanz and Franz put pictures of themselves on key landmarks in Europe to illustrate this.
We also appreciate the great correction from our dear friend the Croc Hunter. It was nice of him to correct himself.
Til Next Time,
YA YA!!

Figure
Ya Ya! Today we talked about the word Figure. Figure has a couple of different meanings. First, it could be to figure out a math problem. There also could be a question on a test where there are two figures or pictures that you have to use to identify answers to a problem. Finally, we brought in one of our favorite figures, Justin Bieber. Granted, it wasn't the real one, it was just a cardboard cut out, but we did notice all the screams and excitement that our figure generated.
Remember to use figure in your classes this week. Until next time.....YA YA!!!

AVERAGE
G'Day, Big Woods!
On Wednesday, I was given the extremely complicated task of teaching everyone about the word AVERAGE. I had to recruit three helpful 4th graders because the Croc Hunter doesn't have any idea what it means to be AVERAGE. Thankfully the 4th graders were able to help me understand and explain to everyone that AVERAGE is a math term too. AVERAGE, as it turns out, is also called the mean. In our math classes we learn to figure out the AVERAGE, or mean, by adding the numbers then dividing by the amount of numbers we added.
I'm so glad we cleared up that confusion. And, just for the record, the Croc Hunter still doesn't know what it's like to be AVERAGE, just how to figure it out!

Volume
Ya Ya!! This week we talked about volume. At first Franz thought that we were talking about how loud something was, but then I realized that it was the other type of volume. Remember, we hear the word volume all of the time in math and science classes. It means to measure the amount of cubic space that an object occupies. We could measure the volume of a lot of different things. What is the volume of a jug of milk or a can of pop? Remember to use the word volume this week!

Prism
Hello Big Woods! The word of the week is prism.
A prism is a three dimensional figure. It has corners and flat sides. Prisms are named after the shape of their base. There are all kinds of prisms: triangular, hexagonal, pentagonal, and square prisms. Remember, a cylinder is not a prism because it has curved sides. Some of our favorite prisms are edible. A Toblerone candy bar is an example of an edible prism. Remember to look around your house & school to see if you can spot any prisms. We think the word prism is verrrry interesting!

SUMMARIZE
G'Day Big Woods,
Today, with the help of some very creative 4th graders, we introduced Big Woods to the word SUMMARIZE. SUMMARIZE means to make a SUMMARY of something or SUM up the information with less words. My 4th grade friends brought statements today (that they wrote on their own, of course), and I was able to help them SUMMARIZE their sentences.
I really hope Hans and Franz were watching because, like I said on the Buzz, they could really use help with their SUMMARIZING skills.
The WORD WONDERS are off until the new year, so please have an enjoyable break!
Until next time,
